Day 20
After almost 3 weeks traveling around the United States, we have started to travel south back to Texas. Derek and I have one last stop tomorrow (Sunday) to see and then we will be home hopefully by dinner. We did not stop the fun today though! We left around 8:00 from our hotel in Rapid City to Wall, South Dakota. This is a tourist trap that you should stop at! They have FREE WATER from their well in the "backyard." Of course we grabbed some.
After Wall Drug we drove about 10 minutes to Badlands National Park. This is a pretty cool park. You drive through the Prairie and then BAM! You will see some pretty cool rock formations, canyons, and some wildlife. They have found lots of fossils in the area dating back 75 million years. When my mom would tell me about the Badlands, she always told me the same story. As a little girl she was always afraid of this area. She always thought that bad guys would hide in the rocks. After seeing this park again, I can see how she would think that. There would be a lot of hiding places! Thankfully, we did not see any bad guys and we made it through the park.
After Badlands National Park, we drove 5 1/2 hours to Grand Island, Nebraska. We made it to our pit stop around 6:30. We leave in the morning for home. I am super excited to see my fur babies! It has been a long time.
