Where I stayed

August 2nd - camping among the buffalo and prairie dogs

Flag of United States Badlands National Park, South Dakota
Tuesday, August 3, 2010

I know it's been ages since I've written a blog...so I thought I'd just post a few short notes with pictures. Here are some pictures of the world famous Wall Drug store (seriously, people come to South Dakota just to see Wall Drug), a rambling old drug store that's become a giant junk yard and home of the 5 cent coffee. Also pictured is Badlands National Park. At Badlands, we had our first Texan encounter, meeting Tim the Texan and his lovely family...and promises of true Texan hospitality if we ever make it to Fort Worth.
