The promotional news release on the website suggested, in the Primal Quest tradition, that the course layout and disciplines will take advantage of the local environment and rich history of the state. There were several hints dropped such as:
1. Head on encounters with raging buffalo herds
2. Hand-to-hand combat, Custer-style, with disgruntled Native Americans
3. Belly-crawling through caves (AKA Spelunking)
4. Ridge "Running" ropes course across the rocky pinnacles of the Badlands
5. Pistol Duels in the lawless town of Deadwood
It all sounds very intriguing to me, and I look forward to shopping at Cabellas for a whole new set of mandatory gear.
Here's a little montage (CLICK on Mt Rushmore!!) I put together from a recent family camping vacation to the great state of South Dakota to get you ready for Primal Quest Badlands!
Enjoy!

Actually, Custer fought the Indians in Montana, but we did have Wounded Knee (to our eternal shame).
But don't forget rock carvings, aka Mt Rushmore and Crazy Horse, Wild Bill's 'Dead Man's Hand' (black aces and eights) and lots of rattle snakes, both in the Black Hills and the Bad Lands!
Welcome to the sunshine state.
