Saturday, August 21, 2010, Murdo, South Dakota.
This morning, after some necessary shopping (sunblock, soda) we drove to the famous Wall Drug in Wall, SD. I've been reading about this place for years in motorcycle magazines. It really is something. Like South of the Border, signs announce it before you arrive. Lots of signs; a sign every 100 yards or so, for 10 miles! Unlike S of the B, it's very well done. They sell absolutely everything: food, clothing, souvenirs. They have thousands of photographs of the family, important politicians, old-time western stuff, etc. It's a tour bus stop, etc., etc.
After Wall we went to Badlands National Park. This is one of the most interesting places we've visited. The bare cliffs and towering spires and pinnacles look like a moonscape. Serry thinks they look like cities and buildings. Not to be missed if you're out this way.
Tomorrow, the Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD. Then, who knows?
