Minnetonka

After the Badlands, we decided to try and make up some time and drive
all the way to Lodi, Wisconsin. It was past midnight by the time we
made it out of South Dakota. Conveniently, we drove through Minnetonka
in the dark night, further proving that the state of Minnesota simply
doesn't exist as Kevin was sleeping and I certainly didn't see
anything. Thankfully, we crossed into Wisconsin just as the sun was
rising. Minnetonka is a company that makes moccasins silly!

It's Hot!

Badlands National Park

Wall Drug, Wall, SD

I read an article published in 1998 that they were racking in $10
million a year. For a small pharmacy that got it's start by
advertising free ice cold water, that's pretty amazing. The signs are
a nice touch.

Maybe this is where they got the idea for Wellcome.

Wall Drug Sign

We started seeing signs back in Wyoming.

Mountain Goat

All approx 200 mountain goats in the Black Hills area spawned from a
gift of 6 goats from Canada that escaped from their pen years ago.

Sturgis Bike Rally 2008

As we approached Deadwood, we were overwhelmed by bikers. Looks like
it's the annual bike week rally in Sturgis, a nearby town. I have
never seen this many bikers.

Deadwood, SD

Super cute western town. Normal looking storefronts hide bustling
casinos with slot machines and poker tables. Saloon #10 marks the
spot where Wild Bill Hickok was shot holding black aces and eights,
hence the name 'dead man's hand'. He and Calamity Jane are buried side
by side in the town cemetery.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Sundance, WY

Happy Moosters

On the way to SD.

Buffalo, WY

We must be on the pop vs soda border.
