More Badlands SD and Wall drug store









There is so much to see in the Black hills area. We ticked two more off the list with a visit to the famous Wall drug store. It was made famous when in the 30's the owners started putting up road signs for free water. Today there are signs all around the world saying how many miles to wall drug. Neat story of success it was fun to look at all the pictures and letters from Presidents to actors and to see all the examples of where the signs are, there is one on the Great Wall of China. It is one of those places that once you have been there it's enough.




We also went through the Badlands in SD (31 mile loop drive) which are as stunning as the ones in ND but very different. For example we saw very few animals, the hill sides were completely barren and this is the first time we saw a man standing naked on a cliff getting his picture taken, apparently he missed the sign that said beware of rattle snakes. Hope you like the pictures.
