We started day 6 at Chamberlain, SD. 130 miles West (1.5 hours) we left I90 at exit 131 for the Badlands Loop. The Badlands of South Dakota are a remarkable geological feature that impresses and befuddles. They are a mix of grass prairie and spectacular erosion, pictures just can’t do them justice. We travelled through formation after formation and each seemed more impressive than the last. The loop takes a couple of hours and if you are ever in this part of the country, don’t miss it.

When you exit the loop, you are at Wall, SD – home of the world famous Wall Drug Store. Free Ice Water and 5 cent coffee signs beckon you for 500 miles across the prairie and Wall Drugs promises to deliver anything and everything (for a price). This store takes up an entire city block – it will take a couple of hours just to make a quick pass through the myriad of departments.
Allow plenty of time for this store and the dozens of wannabees that surround it.
