Badlands or Goodlands ... you decide
If you're traveling by wagon train, without the benefit of GPS, road signs or even an adequate map … badlands If you are trying to farm, grow crops, livestock … most likely badlands. If you want much rain … badlandsThe wildlife in this apparent "bad" land was everywhere. Perhaps because they knew their biggest predators, man, never really made a dent in this place and they were safe. Perhaps because they are better adapters than we humans are. Or perhaps we were just lucky with our timing and happened to catch sight of wildlife when we were out, (we were on an 'up and about near daybreak' routine while we were there, yes all you skeptics who know me … daybreak!) If you are fascinated by worn rock deposits, ie buttes and pinnacles, some layered in fascinating colors … Goodlands If you are a bighorn sheep, rabbit, deer (mule or white tail), black-footed ferret, prairie dog, pronghorn, bison or one of the many birds who live there … Goodlands Wester
