Camp#49 Wall,S.D.. Sleepy Hollow RV Park, Wall,S.D.

    Left Three Flags about 10AM on Thursday morning.

 We only had about 60mls to traverse so it wouldn't take too long since we were using I-90 Eastbound. Did a quick shopping trip enrt and pulled into Sleepy Hollow RV Park in Wall, S.D. at 1130AM. I noticed on their internet site that they made a fuss about early & late arivals and departures but when we arrived it was no big deal.( I often wonder why parks do that. Just covering their asses I guess!)
   We started to notice the advertisements for "Wall Drugs" as soon as we got on I-90. Wow! Talk about mass advertiseing! The 100's of billboards were kinda entertaining to read though! "Free ice water","veterans discounts", "coffee & donuts, 50cents", etc.. musta been 200 signs befor ya get to Wall Drug Store.

   Once we got camped again ( all of 20 minutes) we strolled into Wall, about a block away. Of course we "HAD TO" visit "WALL DRUGS". It's just a mini-mall designed to suck tourist's dollars. Of course, with Sturgis Bike week coming up, even though Sturgis is a good hour away, there's a lot of motorcycle centered sales. Main Street was packed with all sorts of motorcycles. The madness has begun. There's over 450,000 bikers headed to the Black Hills Motorcycle Rally. Actually kinda fun to see so many people grinnin' & the rumbling of cycles.. We had a few drinks at a local bar and caroused a few shops before we headed back to the park.
   Today, Saturday, started out with rain but it cleared up at 10AM so we headed South outa' town and hit Hwy 240 to tour the Badlands National Park. It wasn't long before we had to stop at the gateway entrance and I used my Senior Pass to get us in for free.

The Badlands loop road meanders thru the park at 25 to 45MPH. (my kinda speed). The scenery is almost etheral! 

 

There were a lot of pulloffs and walkways to gain your stares and amazement. It's no wonder it's called the Badlands! Jagged peaks, reds and oranges, rolling hills. Saw a few Bighorn Sheep and prarie dogs. The park traffic wasn't too bad, !! We highly recommend you see this National Treasure !!
 Tonite we gotta figure where we're off to in the morning. Eastbound somewhere!! HA HA HA HA ! Decisions, decisions....
