Day 3: Sioux Falls, SD to Sheridan, WY

Badlands, South Dakota


Miles traveled:
645 miles

Time spent driving:  Don't ask...lots of stops.  
States passed:  South Dakota, Wyoming
Tolls paid: None!  
Tanks of gas: 2
Traffic violations: 1 (Michael's turn this time and bonus: he saw the inside of a police car!  Details to follow.)

Things that happened on this fine Thursday:
  • We went to Corn Palace.
  • We realize South Dakota is a state of endlessly repeating billboards.
  • I was angry at my phone for not getting any reception, therefore not allowing me to answer important questions like "Why are the Badlands called the Badlands?" and "Why are the Black Hills called the Black Hills?"
  • We hiked the Badlands (which are called that cause nothing can grow there).  
  • We went to Wall Drug and Michael got angry.  (Details to follow.)
  • We went to Deadwood.
  • We encountered crazy weather in Wyoming.  (Hello wind and rain!)
  • We ate at a steak house and Michael had the biggest beer in his life.


Corn!  Palace!

Baaddddlandsss again.

South Dakota!
