I didn't get a picture of the Minuteman Missile National Memorial because all you could see was the visitor center, which was very good. There were many displays and photos of an active silo. The rest was all prairie.
Our next stop was Badlands National Park. In looking at the photos, you may notice a strong resemblance to Tent Rocks in New Mexico. We thought it was amazingly similar. Although the Badlands stretches for many more miles.
Lastly we made a stop at Wall Drug. This place covers an entire city block in a tiny town that stretches maybe six blocks by four blocks. Here you can pan for gold, take a mining tour, eat lunch at a café that seats 350, sit at an actual soda fountain and have a malt or a shake, view the art gallery, play in the water park, go through about 50 independent shops, and oh, they do have an actual drugstore in the center.
It's been decades since I have seen the Badlands. I just remembered a place in Hot Springs where we used to go to swim. Evans Plunge. Looks like y'all are having great fun! http://www.evansplunge.com/#home
