Last night, we finished off the Custer, SD area with the Legends in Light laser show at Crazy Horse Memorial. It is well worth staying up late to experience.
The Ark opened today at the Creation Museum in KY, we plan to see it next week as our last stop on our tour of the US.
We are about 45 miles west of Wall, SD and the SD ranchlands are peppered with hand painted signs. The cool weather and huge wide open spaces and big sky are ever inviting. Perhaps some would thk it almost desolate, but we are enjoying the vast prairies and seemingly infinite horizon.
Our first stop of the day was Minuteman Missile NHS. There is really only one word for this site dedicated to the Cold War nuclear program -- sombering.
The Badlands look like another planet - so dry and barren.
One of Isaac's Jr. Ranger badges fell off his backpack and he and Ken are rehiking a short hike here in the Badlands to try to find it. Isaac has worked very hard for the whole vacation and is the only one of our children to complete the Junior Ranger program at every single park and site we have visited. Losing his Hot Springs badge is very sad.
Found it!! Annie found Isaac's Hot Springs Junior Ranger badge on the floor in the SUV! It must have gotten hung up on somethin as he was getting in or out of the car! He is happy!
Wall Drug is a trip!! It was fun to just walk around and see all the Jackalopes. We also got some donuts and $0.05 coffee (for $1.xx since we got it to go).
Tomorrow is Annie's birthday and she wanted fudge instead of cake, so we picked that up in Wall as well. We are going to try to find something fun to do for her tomorrow as she does not want to be in the car the whole day.
Annie likes all the "marshmallow fields even though they aren't done yet". 😊. She knows they are not marshmallows, but likes to call them that anyway.
