On to Wall Drug and Mt Rushmore

Well, the landscape finally changed from corn and soybeans to hay meadows and cattle pasture on beautiful rolling hills.


For miles, the roadside is dotted with signs for Wall Drug, so we had to stop and check it out. It's in Wall, SD and is the largest drug store in the world. It is a block long and filled with souvenirs, a cafe and a drug store.


We got our free water and bought a couple of tee shirts and post cards.

We are now at Hart Ranch, south of Rapid City, SD.

The next day, we drove to Mr Rushmore. Awesome. Breathtaking. I've seen it in pictures all of my life, but in person, it brought me to tears.



All of the flags are represented with a note of when the state was added.
