Badlands are bad

Bad meaning good.

Went to Wall Drug Store (which is much more than a "drug store")...kind of like South of the Border for South Dakota.  Really weird place.  It started out when they began offering travelers free ice water, which they still offer today.  And they still have 5 cent coffee.  Really.  They do.  I saw a sign coming in and thought it was a joke, but we arrived, purchased a couple donuts and then got two 5 cent cups and it wasn't even bad.  A throw back sort of place.  Other items are normally priced, though.  Anyway, we checked this place out for a couple hours then headed to the Badlands National Park (BNP).

BNP was cool.  As usual, we took a whole ton of pics and posted some of the best here.  I will say that the iPhone takes some sweet panoramic pictures.  Nice.

Anyway, we now have the job of driving to get home.  We're about 22 hours driving if we go the best route which appears to be across Minnesota, down through Iowa and Illinois, through Dayton and ultimately WV on our way back to the 'burg.

We might have a couple more short updates...but most of our fun is now over.
