Wall Drugstore and Badlands National Park

Day 4 of the RV Trip to South Dakota.  We left Hot Springs and made it to Wall, SD to check out this kitschy tourist destination.  

 We didn't buy any souvenirs but did get Martha on

the big Jackalope

Just a few miles south of Wall, SD, within the Buffalo Gap Grasslands, we found a spot to do some boondocking:

 Overlooking the Badlands just north of the boundary

to the Badlands National Park

After work, we motored into the park to look for sunset picture locations.  The Badlands National Park is quite scenic, if what you see is rugged rock formations but not much that we could find in terms of coloration on those rocks:

 These Bighorn Sheep weren't looking too good

but they seemed to be happily feeding alongside the road

My assumption that the dipping sun would add colors to the rocks at Panorama Overlook proved wrong.  So we geared up and raced back towards Conata Basin Overlook for hopefully better sunset views.

After the sun had set behind the western horizon, we motored on over to Pinnacles Overlook where we found a bunch of cagers enjoying the sunset.  We were too late but plan on seeing tomorrow's sunset from this point:

 We then rode on the few miles back to our boondocking site, and got the below pic of the waning sunset from where we're glamping!
