Today, we took a beautiful ride through Custer State Park before we headed off to the Badlands. It was so cool.....a group of buffalo decided to cross the road right in front of us. We've seen so many of them on this trip, but still get so excited when they are so close. We were so close to them today, you could hear them snorting. Here's a short video........that's me talking in the background....I was on the phone with my mom...
We saw some antelope and deer up pretty close, too. I really enjoyed seeing the little prairie dogs popping their heads up out of their holes as we drove by. They are so hard to see because they are the same color as the ground. There were signs throughout the park warning tourists that prairie dogs carry the plague!! Who knew!!!
Then it was off to the Badlands. I thoug
ht I had seen it all on this trip, but the Badlands were beyond my wildest imagination. Standing at one of the viewpoints and looking out over a distance you could easily imagine that you were standing on the moon. Absolutely incredible
.
As we headed eastward, we stopped in Wall, SD to check out the Wall Drug Store, supposedly the largest drug store in the world. It was sort of neat.....actually a bunch of little shops all connected together, and you could walk right through from one shop to another. They have an old-fashioned soda fountain and they are famous for their home-made ice cream and donuts, so we chilled out for a little while and had root beer floats and donuts. Yum!
Tonight we sleep in Belvidere, SD. Good night to all back home!
