Wat gisteren niet door ging gaan we vandaag proberen. Het Badlands National Park bezoeken en in Wall de beroemde Drugstore. We rijden in de nieuwe Mini Van, waar zelfs een dvd speler in zit, over de interstate naar de oostelijke ingang van het Park. Op de weg ernaar toe brengen we een snel bezoekje aan een huis waar allemaal prairie dogs zitten. < …

We stopped at Wall Drugs on our way to the hotel. It was after a long day drive through the Badlands. We didn't have a lot of time to spend there but it was very nice. Souvenirs were plenty but the ambiance of the old west was very visible. It's definitely a stop not to be missed.

We had an awesome day today. We drove to Wall Drug in South Dakota. We got some fresh donuts. Lisa got a cup of coffee for a nickel. Then it was off to Mount Rushmore. It was really big. We took a hike around the park to see the presidents at different angles. The monument is quite spectacular. Please see all of the great pictures. Next we went to …

The alarm was set once more in order to get up and break camp before the sun got too high and too hot.

This is a park that …

Today was a big day. In the morning,we took a look at some of the places that Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote about. I liked the house that Pa built the best. It was in really good condition considering it was 125 years old. Then we drove to Mitchell SD to see the Corn Palace. The front and sides of this building are covered in designs made out of real …

On our way to the Badlands we stopped at a prairie dog trading post. We each bought a bag of "official" prairie dog food, AKA unsalted peanuts. Well, the fat little rodents were somewhat entertaining, but they had already had so many peanuts that day that they weren't really interested in approaching us no matter how many times Jon crouched down …

The biggest day of driving since I'd left Nova Scotia was ahead of me... but I had a driving partner: my dad! The goal was to get as close to The Badlands as possible.

We made it all the way to Wall, South Dakota... and the infamous Wall Drug. Incredibly satisfied with our time.

Here are the highlights:

Hello from Rapid City, South Dakota! We have finally set up camp here and are soon to go to sleep, excitedly anticipating Yellowstone National Park. We had a full day of driving, but today Allie and I decided to take advantage of seeing some sights along the way. We drove on 90 West from Iowa to Minnesota and South Dakota. Practically once you …
