Badlands and Wall Drug

The Badlands were not bad, they were fabulous. The Indians call them the land of light and stone....that is what they are. I was unable to get a picture of one of the inhabitants...the prairie dog...cute as can be. They have 30 to 40 burrows in an area and pop up and down in those burrows.



We promised that we would stop in at Wall Drug which is South Dakota's answer to South Carolina's South of the Border. There are signs along the highway advertising 5 cent coffee and free ice water 50 miles away....then 45 miles away....40 miles away. It is a real tourist attraction. I just liked the lady and gent that were sitting on the benches. Had to capture them.


Well folks, the Happy Travelers are going to be on the move again, heading east, next stop, Oacoma, SD. Hope to hear from you.

    I am so glad that Wall Drug was a stopping point on your adventures to the Badlands. It just wouldn't be a trip out West without the obligatory stop at Wall Drug-- tourist trap that it truly is. Of course, the purchase of Black Hills Gold is also an obligatory action-- one that I think you missed out on.
