Short Way 'Round May 6: South Dakota - Wall Drug & The Badlands

Entering South Dakota - the stretches are loooooooong!

Terri enjoys the rolling green hills

MKL does the same

Arriving at the famous Wall Drug store

Cowboy figurines are everywhere

Getting into the gambling mix with the locals

Thar's gold in them there hills!!

A cute squaw, no?

All hail Chief Tancsak!

Terri being mauled by a buffalo - we hadn't seen one on the road yet!

A real ladies man...

Arriving at the Badlands

Terri rushes down to explore the cliffs!

The scale is vast - stretching out as far as the eye can see!

Continuous 40-50 mph winds made standing still a challenge

Great! Another thing to worry about.....

It almost looks like you're in a cartoon - the colors of the landscape are like nothing we've ever seen....

One last stop to admire it all....

These rugged looking trees are so much different than what we're used to seeing back home...

Not a straight road in sight - good!

Leaving, just before dark. Badlands lives up to its mystique!!
