POTA Results For Badlands National Park
I had a terrific time at the Sage Creek campground in the Badlands. It is a primitive camping area and serves as a stop over for many traveling through the area. It's free, but there are not any amenities to speak of. Just a pit toilet and garbage cans, which were emptied almost daily while I was there.
This is park K-0005 and for the three days I was there I made a total of 279 contacts. On 9-14-2021 I got in the truck and used the Kenwood TS-480HX to make some phone contacts. I didn't expect much, but boy did I get a good pileup. 96 QSO's in about an hour and a half. That shows what 200 watts and a Scorpion antenna will do!

Sage Creek is about 12 miles down a gravel road, but don't let that scare you off. Let me show you to this beautiful area in the Badlands of South Dakota. See the HD video below.
