Thanks for the write up...i will check out needles highway for sure and possibly the badlands...i'd been to both sites as a kid and can still remember how cool those were. The pond behind your house?...would we be required to get temp fishing lic. or is it private and we wouldn't have to worry. I think i'd be more interested in the fishing than the kids
Depending on how much time we have, the Angostura Reservoir sounds really cool too.
Thanks again for taking the time to type all that out! It's a big help!
