Day 92

We left Tea, SD this morning and shortly ran into dense fog for about an hour then it cleared and we had another great travel day. We are near Des Moines, IA and all setup and drinking coffee at 3:00. Later we went for a walk, had dinner, watched TV and played Scrabble.

Good 300 mile travel day, that’s it and only about 950 miles to home.

Day 90

After breakfast we drove to the Badlands National Park, clear sunny skies and not yet hot. We stopped, walked, drove and took a few photos. This is an amazing place that also includes the National Grasslands. The only wild life we saw were prairie dogs, in the past was stone sheep and buffalo. It was a very relaxing day then back to Wall Drug for another homemade donut and 5 cent cup of coffee. We cooked out a pork tender loin and readied things for travel.

Day 89

We only had 130 miles to travel today, it was sunny and about 70 in the AM so we took our time did some things around the trailer then headed for Wall Drug and got here about 12:30. After we set up and got the air conditioning running we walked into town to get a 5 cent cup of coffee and a donut. We walked through all the different shops and Karen bought a new coffee mug and I picked up a bottle cozy for my non-alcoholic beer. This was about our 4^th stop to Wall Drug and after each visit we wonder why we stopped? I guess because it is close to the Badlands National Park which we love!

Day 88

We have a tire pressure monitoring system TPMS. It measures air pressure and tire temperature and sends info to a monitor on the dash. Yesterday the alarm went off and one tire was low. I added air and kept going. This morning it was low again but we were planning on going on a drive to visit Devils Tower which we did and took a wonderful loop road. We took a 1.5 mile trail around the tower then finished our drive. Since we were back to the campground at lunch we ate then went out to check the tire. When I pulled it off Karen saw a nail. I checked with the office and there was a guy “down the hill” that could repair it. He repaired the tire in a short time and charged me only $15. We put things back together, had our afternoon coffee and are ready to head for Wall Drug tomorrow.

Notice the Longhorn Steer to the left of the Buffalo.

I love the texture
