Got the RV fixed this afternoon and headed out about 4 pm. Perfect timing for some late afternoon light at nearby Badlands.In addition to the multicolored hillsides, we also took in prairie dogs, swift fox, meadowlarks and a few other birds and mammals along the way.
We exited Badlands near Wall Drug and make the required stop after watching the signs for the last 300 miles. (For those who have not been, Wall Drug started as a small drug store out in the middle of "nowhere", and as a result of some creative marketing (signs for miles advertising free ice water), it is now quite a large store and restaurant selling a host of items, as well as a tourist attraction in its own right. We sampled the buffalo burger and donuts.
We decided to press on past Rapid City as we make our way home quickly. We found a forest service campground around about 2 miles from Mt. Rushmore and called it a night. It was one of our latest nights on the trip.
