Thanks for going through the whole 'WALL DRUG' store! Everytime I've seen a traveler go there, they only show a portion...appreciate you! And omg...the prarie dogs were soooooo frickin' adorable! You lucky "dog!" You got to get so damn close! And...did you say CORN???? lol
Justin, my 67-year-old Dad and I love your videos! ❤ They give us an opportunity to bond over his childhood road trips and the ones he recreated with my sister and I when we were young. We made many stops at Wall Drug growing up and seeing it in one of your videos is so surreal!
Ah the memories. We live in Utah but stopped there on our way home from visiting family on North Dakota 4 or 5 years ago. We also stayed in Rapid City on our way to the Mall of America a few years ago so we went and visited again. We enjoy it.
thanks justin, absolutely loved this place came back twice just to see it all. a must see !!!! badlands no words to describe it its just spectacular.!!!!! santa
Wow, I love everything about this video. Had never seen a Prairie Dog until this. They are so cute. Thank you so much for showing us the Wall Drug Store, it's now on my Bucket List. This is why I love your channel, I'm always discovering new things. Cheers.
This borught back memories to when i was younger! My parents and I took a road trip all the way from Ohio to Idaho. We stopped at Wall Drug on our way from the Badlands to the Black Hills, and I think its one of the biggest cuplrets for the begining of my love for all things kitchy, and my love for silly little road side/tourist attractions! In fact at Wall Drug, I bought a little fluffy jackalope (that was made to look like a realistic stuffed jack rabbit - but with the iconic jackalope antlers) and I still have it to this day on a display of honor in my living room. That trip as a whole is what really sparked my love for road tripping! I hope to one day go to as many places and see as many amazing things as you have the oppertunity to! (that dream may soon be a reality, as I am saving up money to buy an rv!) Thanks for these videos!
I worked there for one summer during college, think the only thing that was worth working there was the nearby attraction areas like Deadwood, Custer State Park, Bear Country, etc. That and I made friends who were on an exchange program from Macedonia. I worked as a floater/gopher primarily. And yes, the times I worked in the backyard that dinosaur was unbelievably loud. The fudge is to die for, as are the donuts. I had a mixed experience working there; I mean it's retail first off, and you're dealing with a plethora of different people, but the coworkers and the general area of the Badlands and Black Hills made it tolerable. All that being said, I'm glad you enjoyed your time! I can't believe you were in my neck of the woods of the Dakotas! It's been forever since a video of yours came on the home page for me, I'm glad it was this one. Happy to see you enjoying everything we have to offer here!
As someone originally from nearby Rapid City but moved away for more populated parts of the country, it's always nice to see some familiar locations from back home get the recognition it deserves. Fun fact, when Red Dead Redemption 2 came out, I immediately had flashbacks to visiting Wall Drug just by the sound the boots made on the floors inside stores.
Ah yes, Wall Drug. First with my folks, then with my wife I've been visiting here everytime we come to the Black Hills since 1957. Just a single store back then now it takes up a whole block. We like to stop for breakfast or failing that, lunch where I can get a buffalo burger. Stopping at Wall Drug is mandatory with our family.
We have an abundance of those prairie dogs living here in one of our parks in Lawton, OK. They also have an area out in our Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, which is located right next to Lawton and Fort Sill Army Post. They are fenced off with that wooden fence like they have there. They aren't as docile here in town as those ones are, though.

Prairie dogs are a keystone species. Their population loss, largely due to humans, has contributed to suffering of other species and also to many of the water problems now facing the southwestern US. They need to be protected!
We call those rodents Richardson Ground squirrels or more commonly Gophers in Canada. In Torrington Alberta we have a twelve foot statue of an anamorphic Gopher named Clem T. GoFur
JustinScarred can you do videos of going to Amazing Animal Inc's Zoo, Landon Scherr's Zoo, Jacob Feder's Zoo, Animal Tracks Inc's Zoo, Moksha Bybee's Zoo, SaveAFox's Animal Sanctuary, Brian Barczyk's Zoo, Kamp Kenan's Zoo, Corbin Maxey's Zoo, JayPrehistoricPets's Zoo and Blake Exotic Animal Ranch's Zoo.
I stopped by Wall Drug a couple years ago and was very disappointed. I like shlocky, touristy stuff, but even Wall Drug was too shlocky and touristy for me.
My uncle went out west to shoot them varmint a couple years ago they destroy farm land .😮 we have ground hogs you have to shoot or trap them they dig holes every where and multiply fast dig holes under anything buildings sheds porches against houses varmints 😮
I moved to Washington state from Massachusetts in 2002 driving I-90 practically the entire way. Part of that drive took me through South Dakota. The 'signs' for Wall Drug start before the state line with Minnesota and once you drive into S.D. they appear every 5-10 miles. 'Be Sure to Stop at Wall Drug, Wall, South Dakota. Admittedly the lure of free ice water proved to be a strong motivator considering the temperature was in the 90's that day.
Thank you for this vlog! It brought back some wonderful memories of visiting Wall Drug and the Badlands with my husband and kids on our way to Mount Rushmore! 😊
I went to Wall Drig as a kid in the early 80s. The bucking horse in the backyard had real horse hair. The current jackalope and bucking horse are a bit more hygienic. 😂
We are taking our 13 yr old granddaughter to SD next month. We are going to Mt Rushmore & Devil's Tower. Of course we will go to the Badlands & Wall Drugs and other attractions. We are looking forward to Aug and the trip.
I'm 59 and my childhood vacations were filled with road side attractions. This store is my childhood and I miss these types of places. Once my dad took us to Disney, that became our new vacation spot, but nothing could beat the mom and pop roadside attractions. Don't get me wrong, Disney is amazing, but before Disney, this was my shangra la
Thanks Justin , you are so fun, energetic and enthusiastic, you make me want to jump in my Bronco and head right up to Wall Drug tomorrow- a 13 hour drive from Albuquerque but you have convinced me that it would be worth every mile!
OMGOODNESS!!! I thought I was the only one who knew about Wall. I'm 60 and my parents took us every year we went to see my grandparents. Then my kids grew up going. It's the best cheesy tourist place in the US. Thanks for spotlighting it!!!!
Summer 1983. Three friends take a cross country trip in a reconditioned VW pick up. We took the Southern route heading out from CA to the East coast. Coming back, we went more northerly. Having stopped at the Bad Lands, and seeing all the signs yelling at us to stop there, we, too, went to Wall Drug. That place is still etched in my mind for its feeling of high weirdness. The original drug store had, of course, taken over other nearby stores as it expanded; not all of the stores had the same floor, so I remember places where suddenly the floor rose up an inch or down the same amount. The place was really strange, but we got our obligatory cup of water. I also picked up a Lakotah-English dictionary there.
I loved the Wall Drugstore! It wasn't quite so noisy, though. My late husband bought me a ceramic bowl that I loved. I still have the bowl, but he passed away. It reminds me of him every time I see it on my counter.
Was telling a friend how awesome wall drug is. Now she can see for herself! Nice job...do those wooden floors still creak when you walk on em? So cool!
The reason that the farmers don't like Prairie dogs is because they are dangerous to horses if a horse step in to one of there holes the horse leg will broke there is nothing you can do for a horse that broke there leg
The badlands and South Dakota more broadly were one of the biggest surprises for me when we passed through while we were moving to Texas last year. Such an incredible place with some really amazing views.
Thanks for the thumbs up homies... you're my #1 prairie dawgz
Thanks for going through the whole 'WALL DRUG' store! Everytime I've seen a traveler go there, they only show a portion...appreciate you! And omg...the prarie dogs were soooooo frickin' adorable! You lucky "dog!" You got to get so damn close! And...did you say CORN???? lol
Added my like in specific appreciation of your post 😂 thanks for the adventure!
In the Oldddddddddd Wessssttt!
What do you mean "80 foot dinosaur"? That clearly only has four feet.
I appreciate that you showed the store, I would have never known about Glow in the Dark Prairie Dog T-shirts. :)

Oh my gosh the really fluffy one sitting there eating the peanut while Justin's talking about him. Soooo floofy 😊❤
I remember going there in the early 90s as a kid. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

I still have my Wall Drug bumper sticker I got on a road trip ad a teen in 1994. Ahh, memories.
What fun place. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Wow you would think you would being back to the old west not a tin building in the middle of nowhere. It's always a great tourist trap stop👍👍👍👍
Thank you! Havent been to Wall Drug and South Dakota in over 20 years. Loved it!

another home run, thank you. pure fun and a history lesson too!
One of my stops while during from North Dakota to California and back. This place and Little America are great for a rest and lunch.!
Absolute beautiful country in that area. The little restaurant next to Wall drugs has some amazing food.
Hey Justin good vlog and thank you and keep up the good you do love jarl

Prairie dogs and CORN!! 😂

I've been there, and done that.😂❤😊
Went there in 1990 I think was only around 4 so don’t remember it my aunt got a shot glass. From it and gave it to me couple years ago
Sounds like a cool place to visit 😱whoa
Those dogs are eyeing him as a meal. Wondering how (prairie dogs) we’re going to get that human trough tiny hole under ground feast.
Needs more corn.
Speaking of the oooooold west, are you headinbg over to Deadwood?
Does Nomadic Fanatic know you borrowed his theme song?
YAHOOO
23:38 you are hilarious.

WALL DRUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I stopped by Wall Drug a couple years ago and was very disappointed. I like shlocky, touristy stuff, but even Wall Drug was too shlocky and touristy for me.
Justin I just love you voiced over Annie Oakley and the conversation with that hooker is hilarious
You should go back with Allie.
Who else saw the wood carved Bigfoot and instantly thought of Adam the woo
...but do they sell corn? 🌽🤔
Man give me some of your energy bro.
Corn!
I actually agree a lot on the helicopter. I'd rather they swap helicopters out and allow drones.
WACKY ROADSIDE ATTRACTIONS!
Corn?
My uncle went out west to shoot them varmint a couple years ago they destroy farm land .😮 we have ground hogs you have to shoot or trap them they dig holes every where and multiply fast dig holes under anything buildings sheds porches against houses varmints 😮
You’re 0 miles away from Wall Drug!
i've seen how fat and mean those dogs can become. watch out - not so cute
Lol prairie dogging it
Thanks, Justin, for visiting and showing the places that some of us wish to visit but can't.❤
Love it!!!!!!❤
Justin, those prairie dogs are so cool. Glad you got so many great shots of them.

@justinscarred Your content is always entertaining and NEVER boring my family and I really appreciate you and Ally so much. 💗
Thanks for taking us on another adventure. We enjoyed the trip! Mike's and Mike's grandma
Thank you for this vlog! It brought back some wonderful memories of visiting Wall Drug and the Badlands with my husband and kids on our way to Mount Rushmore! 😊
Always good to see your videos, Justin. I'm about to become a Patreon member of yours and stop being a freeloader!

Wall Drug and Justin : the perfect combination

Awesome job leading this with a live stream.
that was a close one!
Those prairie dogs are adorable 😱👍🏻
Love the little Prairie dogs and Wall's leaves me speechless.

Devil's Tower is a great place to visit when you are in the area you are in. There is a field on the way out with tons of prairie dogs. :-)
Then stop by Gillette and say “Hi!” brotha!
They should build a 60ft Bill Murray trying to catch the 10ft gopher.
Thanks Justin , you are so fun, energetic and enthusiastic, you make me want to jump in my Bronco and head right up to Wall Drug tomorrow- a 13 hour drive from Albuquerque but you have convinced me that it would be worth every mile!
You are so much nicer to listen to than atw!!! Love your personality!!❤❤
That dinosaur animatronic reminds me of the same one I remember seeing at the Ripley's Believe or Not museum in San Antonio, Tx.

Peanuts are bad for Prarie dogs😢😢😢 You would think the Ranch would know this.
