Total Miles Trip: 1600 miles
This morning, we decided to head out and see the Badlands and Wall's Drug Store. We hop in the car for the 70 mile drive. It was cool and sprinkling outside. As we got close, we stopped at Prairie Homestead to look at how people lived in South Dakota in the early 1900's.
We got to the Badlands and started driving through them. Amazing and breathtaking doesn't even describe it. I took some amazing shots.
Our drive ended us at Wall Drug Store. Their claim to fame is that they would give free ice water to travelers. We had a yummy lunch and shopped in the many specialty areas of the store. It has grown a lot since 1931.
We drove back and checked into our hotel in Deadwood and took a rest. We then went to the Circle B Chuckwagon Dinner. I ate buffalo, chicken, beans, baked potato, applesauce, biscuit, and spice cake. We had lemonade and sarsaparilla to drink. The food (especially the buffalo) was delicious- I couldn't finish it all!! After dinner, we enjoyed some cowboy singing- great fun!!
We came back to the hotel and went to the casino for a beer and some gambling- yeah, I lost $15 and I was done!!
Tomorrow, it's Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and Keystone!
