This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Yeah, the Plains get pretty hot and humid, especially with the flatness and general lack of trees. I remember a 118°F day in east-river SD in 2005 or -6, a shitty day to be a lifeguard lol. At least there's a little geography in the Badlands, and you're close to the Black Hills, which are gorgeous. But yeah, they are called the Badlands for a reason lol.
