Today we traveled across the rest of Wyoming and on to Wall, South Dakota (population 821). We were fortunate to find lodging some wonderful log cabins convenient both to town and to the park. After unpacking, we headed to downtown Wall to check Wall Drug. This old store started in the 1930's as a little drugstore and now has grown so it nearly fills the whole block. They were once known for offering free ice water to travelers and you still see those signs along the highway today along with signs for five cent coffee. There were a few other interesting shops downtown, too, so we checked those as well.
From there we headed out to Badlands National Park. The park land is very different from the rest of the area and it has a beauty all it's own. It was nice and sunny so we were able to get some pictures. We spotted a few prairie dogs and there were meadowlarks singing everywhere. Around dusk we spotted three bighorn sheep feeding on the grass not far from the road.
Tomorrow we will check more of the park and hopefully get more pictures. Temp today was upper 60's and tomorrow's forecast calls for temp of around 87.
