The badlands are hot, arid, and windy! We also explored Wall Drug today. If this campground had a shower (even a pay shower!) I would be 100% happy. As it is, I'm at about 95% due to my overwhelming stinkiness. :) Hopefully tomorrow's site is truly on a lake, as promised by my guidebook. For now, Mike is sheapish but happy (see photo - yes, we are camping and he us streaming the basketball finals!), and Rose even rated this vacation "better than the princesses!" High praise!!!
We survived our first night, complete with 40mph gusts of winds that nearly flattened our tent! Now we're off to explore those badlands...
Beautiful river! Decently priced groceries! Clean restrooms!
(Getting punchy after a long day in the car!)
Huh. Apparently the world's only remaining corn palace, after multiple popped up in the late 1880s. Not sure I would ever feel the need to return, but I'm glad we saw it (even though it was super kitschy).
We played at falls park for awhile (which was awesome!!!) and now we're waiting for food at woodgrain brew pub. Rose is a little tired and hungry but overall we're having a great time :)
It's a bit like tetris, but we managed to fit everything in the car! Without a car top carrier! (Ahem, dad!)
Hopefully we don't get about two hours in and then say to each other, "you know what we forgot...."
:)
