Day 9 Iowa to South Dakota

I am refreshed and relaxed ready to hit the road, on to Mt Rushmore.

Headed out to 80W and found out I have to go back to 90W, so I get on 29N to 90W. As I bring my speed up to 70, I go by a sign that states the speed limit is 80. Set the cruise control to 80. Barely any traffic at all. After about an hour of passing everyone I decide to slow it down to 75, due to the crosswinds and the kayak on the car. Very few people actually go 80, they stay in the 70 to 75 range.

I arrived in South Dakota and went to the visitors’ center and checked out what I needed to see. I was going by the Badlands and decided to stop for the night. Spent the afternoon and evening taking pictures and went into Wall South Dakota. Known for the Wall Pharmacy, which is about the whole of the Main St.

The weather and sunset were not the most cooperative, so I did what I could. I did get one very nice sunset with clouds.

Stayed up too late attempting to get some pictures ready to post and never got to write for the blog.

Tomorrow I will spend some more time at the Badlands and then move on to Mt. Rushmore.
