With no access to internet for 6 days now, it has become difficult to remember where we have been! I think we left off traveling to Badlands National Park. Our drive was interesting, especially our quick stop to Wall Drug - the largest drugstore (a whole lot of crap) in America. It was fun to sip a fountain drink and buy a cheap t-shirt.
By late afternoon we arrived in the Badlands. Made a quick stop in the Visitor Center to pick up Jr. Ranger books, etc. I always need to map out our days in advance. My mom was always very accomodating! Stayed in a grungy hotel that was just outside the park entrance. Staff was very nice, but oh my, the room left much to be desired! We made it to the evening star program and stayed for 2 1/2 hours! Emily got very excited over the big telescopes. We saw the entire universe, it seemed, under the South Dakota sky! Hiked several trails before heading back into Rapid City to get my mom off to the airport on the 20th.
