Anyone driving Interstate 90 through South Dakota will see sign after sign advertising Wall Drug. When Mom and Dad drove us kids to Minnesota we just had to stop.
Don't bother unless you can't live without a $125 mounted jack-a-lope or a coffee mug. Or anything else you really don't need.
Badlands National Park. You gotta love the name.
We were surprised that we saw life in this beautiful and desolate landscape
Big Horn sheep posed for us at one of the pull outs.
One of my highlights were meeting these people who were moving from San Diego to Minnesota. With their chickens. My parents had done the opposite. With their children.
The tours for this facility were closed for the day. We had visited the Titan Missile Museum in Arizona a few years ago and saw these remnants from the Cold War.

Our farewell dinner
Bye Bye Tammy! Until next time!
We left South Dakota and traveled through southern Wyoming to our next destination: Utah. This was another memory of those bi-annual driving trips to Minnesota. It was a treat to stop at Little America on Hwy 80 for ice cream. We stopped and I went in for an ice-cream and asked the lady where all the action was. She said "this is it". Funny how things seemed so much bigger when you are so much smaller.
