    I had just met my soon to be wife and we had driven from Texas straight through Wall and onto North Dakota nonstop to see her family. When we got to Wall I was so freaking tired I barely remember the shops but I do remember the dinosaur. Then I found out my father in law took some of the original postcard photos that are still advertised for wall. I know thrilling story

    There is free camping in the designated areas in the Badlands for tent camping and a buffalo herd will come through your camp before sunrise. I had the pleasure. Zero facilities, with zero cost.

  • @jerryphillips7330
    @jerryphillips7330 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have been to Wall Drug at least a dozen times starting way back in the 50's with my parents. They used to get crowds of people stopping there by offering free ice for your ice chests. Was there in 2019 and they no longer offer free ice.

I was born in Manitoba in 1944 right above good old South Dakota..there is piles of history wit South Dakota and the Metis too.....History does it ever stop. Even that dinosaur smiling at you with those big teeth, getting ready for snacks....Lol! Do you ever wonder what it must gave been like back tgen? Wow. The badlands alright. It is the landbof extremes...icy cold winters and boiling hot summers, and dinosaurs and Prairie dogs....plus wicked tornadoes.... well thank you so much for my ride of sanity....keep on trucking.

    When you head south you should check out Bennett Spring State Park in Lebanon Missouri. Many people from all over come to fish there! Even from Ireland!! There is camping but you need to call ahead to reserve a spot. Check it out!!

    • @leesydreamy

      Wall drug in my opinion has a nice restaurant, attractions and some nice shops. But it's so over crowded with tourists in the summer. We like to go there occasionally when it's less crowded, like in the Spring and Fall, and I like to get myself coffee, and one of the big cookies when we're there. And there's a couple of times we ate at the restaurant. We don't usually buy much in the shops. And we don't go to wall drug very often. I agree, the badlands are the highlight of Wall. I also love the blackhills. I love the scenery of South Dakota.

    What a great video. You going into walls drugs brought back memories from when my family and I went to Rapud city to visit my brother in the air force. We saw Mount Rushmore on our way back home to Texas we stopped into Walls drugs. Not sure where my dad parked our 5th wheel RV We had stopped at corn palace but not sure where it’s is located. I also remember driving past the badlands as well. Thanks for the Video and the memories

    🙋‍♀️Hello Russ! Enjoyed seeing Wall Drugs! A little bit of everything. Good to see someone still sold the Black Gold Jewelry. Most people go to Walmarts to see their neighbor. I guess if you live here, you go to Wall Drugs to see your neighbor. It was a really nice day to visit Wall, South Dakota. From the aerial view, Wall Drugs just about is the town. Honestly, this was the biggest drug store I've ever seen. Amazing! 👍

We were on our way by bus to the 50th BSA Nacional Jamboree, in Colorado Springs! We covered most places in southern South Dakota from Sioux Falls to Rapids City and Mount Rushmore before heading South to Colorado Springs! Thanks for sharing! DB

    Wall is OK. If you haven’t been there before it’s worth a stop. After that you can easily do without it. But when you do stop, at least get a cup of “ice water” so you can at least say you got it. …….by the way, it’s not ice water, just water from a cart hooked up to a spigot, not very cold!

Don't let someone here tell you it's just a tourist trap, and not worth the stop...they needed to talk to towns folk and learn some history. We spent a night in Wall at a mom & pop motel too.
