Not far from Badlands National Park we arrive in Wall, SD, best known as the home of Wall Drug Store. The store became famous in 1936 when its owners, knowing travelers going through the dusty prairie would be thirsty, put up signs along the highway advertising free ice water. We continue on to Rapid City where we visit the Kieke Norwegian Chapel in the Hills and view the Presidential sculptures downtown before checking into our hotel for the next two nights. Dinner this evening is included with local Native American entertainment. Next two nights in Rapid City.
