Wall Drug and the Badlands

As we headed east across South Dakota today we will stop at Wall Drugs and then the Badlands.  We will be covering most of the state from west to east today and will be staying in Sioux Falls tonight.  Wall Drug signs can be seen literally all over the world but they are EVERYWHERE in South Dakota.  It is a unique place and actually is a drug store as well but you almost have to stop just to satisfy your curiosity.

 

 Here's the front of Wall Drug Store but this doesn't begin to tell the story.

We also spent part of the morning driving and hiking through the Badlands in South Dakota.  I can't imagine what early explorers thought when they were coming across the plains only to come upon this sight.  It's like no where else in the United States.

The landforms remind me of giant sand castles.

Even in a place this barren a cactus was blooming.
