It was actually a relief to take our tourist breaks today. And the first was Wall Drug in Wall, SD. A HUGE and apparently legendary drug store that is now a terrific tourist attraction. In fact I love ALL of you SO much, I didn't buy any "crap" for you! 5cent coffee and homemade donuts though are the best deal there.
Bev found some old friends and we were able to stretch our legs for a bit before heading back out onto the highway.
Trucks and trailers, oversize loads and Indian reservations, school buses and tumble weeds, coyotes, cows, horses, alkali flats, bentonite, scoria, buttes, snow, wind, construction, family history, Indian history, how to shear a sheep and history of boots. Our favorite thing we learned together today was we were actually 20 miles from the center of the United States...Do you know where that is?
So we leave you with this picture this evening...and unfortunately, the picture does not do the vista justice. This IS big Sky territory and I see why now. It is BEAUTIFUL!!! We carried all of you in our heart to this place today and thought of you while we were here. We hope you enjoy!
Snow in the forecast tomorrow as we head into Bozeman. Time to sleep and let the blood come back to my knuckles. Bev is doing well and is a great companion, she LOVES all of your comments and well wishes...so stay tuned, the best is yet to come! Good night!
