The Badlands aren't Bad, & then there's Wall Drugs

The Badlands have changed since we were here 30 years ago - really.  We learned that the Badlands erode an inch a year.....so that's over two feet off the rocks!  We also found a new campground, visitor center, and Cedar Lodge.  Quite dramatic landscape, and quite a change from 800 miles of corn and soy beans.  We did some great short hikes in the cool morning air.

Then on to Wall Drugs; can't pass this without stopping.  Very disappointed that now the "free ice water" comes out of a tap.  Wall hasn't changed their fine merchandise selection.  You can still find indian tomahawks from China (used to be Japan), and Morey bought a real leather belt only to discover that it too comes from China.  We did have time to sit down with the old timers and talk about current events.
