Any questions, contact Lester and Ruth (rlsendecki@yahoo.com)

Plan to leave South City Market at 9:00am. Bring usual lunch, water, snacks, full tank of gas.

Ruth and Lester are planning an exploration in and around Badlands, SD. They plan to arrive in Badlands May 17th. Expect trips, on the 18th, 19th and 20th, to leave from the Badlands Inn, Interior, SD around 8:30 each day. The first day will be on pavement as we plan to explore the drive through the park with some short hikes and stops at overlooks. Second day we will be exploring along Sage Creek Rim Road, which is an improved dirt road, to the ghost town of Scenic SD. Third day is planned for Battle Creek Canyon road, this is a high clearance trail in a remote section of the Badlands. We have never explored this area before so that’s as much description as we can provide. However, all roads are on our National Geographic map of the area and there will be about 5 vehicles total. That should be enough to get us out of an trouble we may find!! Each day is planned for a full day out, so you will need to bring lunch, water, snacks and have a full tank of gas, as usual for these trips.

This is an all day fund raiser sponsored by the Nucla Naaturita Chamber of Commerce. For more information, contact their website – https://nucla-naturita.com/events/

Registration is limited to 30 vehicles.

Trail begins approximately 22 miles beyond Naturita.
Trail is in 2 parts, both an in-&-out.
First part climbs the mesa to a dead end above the mine & buildings. Difficulty 3 the last time we were there. Scenic & good rock hounding.
Return most of the way to the highway for the second part.

Bring boots or water shoes if you want to cross the creek to investigate the buildings.

While commonly called Cashin Copper Mine, it probably produced more silver than copper. Also has some gruesome history a murder.

Please let us know if you expect to join us for this trip.
