Badlands-Day 1

We made it to the Badlands National Park today. I am currently blogging from the front of the KOA because our cabin was out of range of the wireless they provide. Along the way, we had a couple of stops to make before we arrived at our destination.


Random roadside attraction. We didn't actually go in, but we saw so many signs for it on the road, Josh insisted we at least stop and get gas at the exit.









We stopped in at Wall Drug-it takes up almost an entire city block. They offer free ice water and 5 cent coffee. We ate a pretty decent lunch and walked around.









I guess they love giant sodas in the town of Wall, SD. Here's Josh with his 52 ouncer!






Dave was asleep when we drove through the park on the way to our cabin. These are just pictures I took from the car window.























Pretty spectacular huh? Tomorrow we are heading out to check out some wildlife (hopefully!) and do a couple of hikes before it gets too hot. Josh informed me it will be 105 tomorrow. blech. And then in the afternoon we're going to Minuteman Missile Silos. They are decommissioned missiles from the Cold War. Should be cool-and air conditioned!
