The Maah Daah Hey Trail is 96 miles which stretches throughtout the Badlands
in Thodore Roosevelt National Park. The name "Maah Daah Hey" comes from the
Native American Language of the Mandan Hidatsa Indians. It means "grandfather,
long-lasting." It is used to describe things or an area that has been or will be
around for a long time & is deserving of respect. The turtle shell symbolizes
protection.
Jimmy rode the trail for 12 miles until he came to a stream he tried to cross
carrying his bike. He had his bike on his shoulder to cross the stream. He put
his foot into the water and promptly sank knee deep in dark quick-sand like
mud. He had a hard time pulling himself out of the mud. He never did
find a crossing on the stream that was safe enough to cross. So he road back
to the campground.
