After a long drive, we stopped in Wall, SD, home of the Wall Drug Store. We toured the store area and ate at the Drug Store. On Monday we drove through the Badlands. Beautiful scenery!!!
This a typical view of the Badlands, barren rock and steep slopes. The power of wind and water erosion is amazing.
As we were driving through the Badlands, we saw these flowers all along the road. We thought they were Black Eyed
Susans. But after a trip to the visitor center we learned they are small sunflowers. After touring the Badlands, we continued on to Mt. Rushmore.
I had been here when I was young, but this was Barbara's first time. The heads are beautiful. We took a walking, guided tour and learned about the sculpting process.
Barbara is standing at the entrance to the walkway of states.
The final stop of the day was at Chief
Crazyhorse statue. His head is finished but hey hope to have a complete statue of him riding his horse.
