Woke up around 7:20 AM and got ready to depart from my Jackson, MN campground. I left there around 9 AM and drove to Interior, SD. On the way there I needed gas so I took an exit with a gas symbol on it. The gas station was closed for the season, but I found a neat old “ghost town” instead. Not much of a town, but the few buildings still around were kind of neat.
I found gas further down the road then headed to "Wall Drug". I’d heard about the place and it was close to where I was heading, so I figured I’d do it. Neat large tourist trap.
I then drove the rest of the scenic loop around the Badlands, stopping at several places along the way. The sun was going down which gave everything a nice effect. I got out and walked a few places and took pics. Such great scenery! So impressive. More impressive than I expected, and over such a large area.
The temp dropped quite a bit at night, so it wasn't the hot 96 it had been earlier in the day. It was a clear night, so I could see lots of stars when I left my tent.
