August 27, 2023 - Add On
And yes, there were lots more Corn and Soybeans, BUT added sunflowers to the view!
We had planned to stop near Chamberlain South Dakota a couple of hours short of the Badlands and Ernie decided to power through to make it same day (since we gained ANOTHER hour, we are now in Mountain Time)
We knew we were getting close with all the Wall Drug signs on the highway!
Almost there........
720 miles later.......
Camping on the EDGE!
Glad Ernie powered through because this was a VERY enjoyable evening, listing to the coyotes yipping, the cows mooing and sipping cold beverages! By the way, the Edge is boondocking (FREE CAMPING) right at the edge of the Badlands!

Good Morning!
Exploring Badlands National Park......
Oh give me a home, where the Buffalo roam and the deer and the antelope play........
And a few prairie dogs too...there are thousands of prairie dog holes throughout the Badlands and these little guys are TOO cute!
AND Pronghorn Sheep!
Yellow Rocks!Can you see the sheep in the picture below?
Should I or shouldn't I........hmmmmm
Yep, I SHOULD! I will admit, it was a little scary, but not scary enough to NOT do it! Ernie snapped this from the other side of the picture above!
It was really beautiful, but REALLY HOT!!!!!!
On to the famous Wall Drug....
Ernie found a friend! LOL
It was a cool place to see, but typical tourist trap kind of stuff! Glad to have seen it though!
Now this is OUR kind of tourist trap........the view from our camper for the evening! Back on the Edge!
Will take an evening walk and drink a few more cold beverages!
Hoping to get to Needles highway at Custer State Park, Crazy Horse and Mount Rushmore tomorrow!
More to come!
Night!
NICE camping spot!
View from camper and 2nd picture is me standing in the distance (circled myself)!!
Had a fire, but only had a couple little pieces of wood, improvised and used dried COW PIES.....Ernie says it has a pleasing scent! It really didn't smell like cow poop at least!!!!!!
