Another long driving day, but at least we actually got to see a few things at the end of the day. It was kind of fun exploring South Dakota, the ancestral homeland of our friends John, Anita, et al. We made it to the Badlands and drove through the national park. The kids were mildly impressed, but Becky and I thought it was awesome. After that we went to Wall Drug in Wall, South Dakota. It’s kind of an American landmark that I had never heard of, but Becky knew all about. Apparently, it’s closely associated with jackalopes and the like. It was a fun stop, and we ate homemade ice cream.
Then at the end of this long driving day, we followed the worst set of mapquest directions ever. They took us to the middle of nowhere. If anyone is trying to get to the KOA near Mt. Rushmore, don’t follow the mapquest route. After wandering around in the mountains for an hour, we finally found a town and asked for directions. We got in a little late, but the kids still had time to swim for a little while so they were happy.
