We had a short drive today from Winner, SD to Wall, SD. As I reported in an earlier edition, we drove via The Badlands National Park for 32 miles. See my earlier Day 8 posting. Once we settled into our camp site, we walked a few blocks to experience Wall Drug. They had advertised an invitation to visit for hundreds of miles. I'm glad we took them up on the invitation. They have grown to cover an entire block in Wall, SD. See more at: www.walldrug.com
We had a fine, very reasonable, roast beef dinner in their Cafeteria. There were several dining areas to take our food into, and while there, we enjoyed viewing the Western Art Gallery that graced the walls.
After dinner, we browsed through a variety of the departments of merchandise. We also took a few minutes in the Chapel which could seat at least 50 people. Here are just a few of the items we took delight in seeing.
While we were shopping, a Severe Thunderstorm began and threatened to continue for several hours. We took time to write some post cards, and when it cleared, we walked back to our camp site. This magnificent sunset was our reward for resisting some of those boots that ranged in price up to and beyond $895 a pair.
What a thrill to see this God given gift at the close of our 8th Day of travel. The setting
Sun over Wall, South Dakota.
