South Dakota - Badlands and some Odd Places!

We stopped at Wall Drug in Wall, SD.  It is nothing like it was in 1970 - much more commercial and truly lots of "junk" or treasure depending on your point of view.  We then drove through Badlands National Park - that is a treausre.  Breathtaking views.  We spent the night in Kedoka - pop. 700 with one place to eat - we were definitely the outsiders - needed cowboy hats and boots!  (Side note : Found out that Kedoka is the birthplace of Nate Reiser!) Saturday morning we continued our trek and stopped at the Mitchell Corn Palace. It was crazy crowded because there was a Pedal Pull competition - something with kids and how much load they can pedal a small tractor with how much of a load (I didn't get it).  We have now been across NE, WY and SD and touched MO, MT and IA. 3385 miles and each one of them worth the travel!

Right next to the car - we couldn't get out !




Note - Christea Reiser was born in Mitchell, SD!
