We head out across South Dakota with no particular goal in mind. I drift off for a little nap and am awoken as we pull off the interstate with Kate saying, "I have a surprise for you." Next thing you know we're at the Worlds Largest Corn Palace! After a thorough tour of the strangely famous Corn Palace we continue westward through the plains of South Dakota, unable to ignore the 3.5 million billboards for something called Wall Drug where one can apparently get ice water for 5 cents. Before we quench our curiosity and head to Wall Drug we head into Badlands National Park and are so happy we did. An absolutely amazing and alien landscape greets us as we hike through this national treasure. Afterwards we head to Wall Drug and...well...you've really just got to see it for yourself 🤣😂🤣. We close out this weeks adventure with a visit to Mt Rushmore and a drive through Deadwood. And questions? We're always here for you, just drop your questions in the comments. 🙏😎

Sometimes you just know you're in South Dakota.
We're just driving along and Katie said, oh, I got to pull off here in the middle of South Dakota.
There's a surprise for you. We shall see what it is.
It's the world's largest corn palace. I am surprised.
World's only corn palace, Mitchell, South Dakota.
Call me a tiger.
Call me out. Why don't you lift me up higher of the clouds? Won't you?
It's a really big deal.
When the scenery is right, go right in. I don't want to fall deep within.
If you look closely, these are all full corn cobs.
Every little piece is made out of different parts of the corn. This is cool.
Well, we just decided to stop off at Badlands National Park. It's beautiful so far.
And we're only a thousand yards into it.
Off we go.
Here we actually have signs that say rattlesnakes.
But in Australia, they don't have signs that tell you all the snakes are deadly everywhere you go.
Everybody's scared enough when they get there.
Oh, yeah.
This is so much fun.
This is like walking on Mars or what I imagine it would look like.
Well, now we have photos of Mars and it looks kind of like this.
These trucks are side by side.
Some people travel single file to hide their numbers.
On to the next site.
First one certainly didn't disappoint.
Oh, it's beautiful.
I had no idea this park was this gorgeous.
We saw billboards for the last 400 miles for this place.
And we just have to stop in.
It's called wall drug.
I call it the wall.
Our new favorite pastime, sending postcards to people.
Jealous yet?
She's staring at my mask.
What are you waiting for?
These are beautiful.
What do they smell like?
Nothing.
That was fun.
You ever rode a jackalope before?
Can't say that I ever have.
So what is wall drug?
I still don't know.
I just know it's a lot of crap.
But strangely fascinating.
It is.
Kate, look up.
Oh, Uncle Dan, we found your store.
Bad news for you, gentle.
Things are not going to go well for you.
And why do they have this?
Who knows?
Very good place to get your postcards and to ride a jackalope.
Now I think we are heading for some downtime.
Yes.
That's the food.
Eating, sleeping.
Here we are.
We're in Mount Rushmore.
I gotta go pee.
Well, we came on a day that tomorrow it's closed because the president's coming
and everything is blocked off.
I don't know.
We got to see the Mount Rushmore.
They get to see it.
That's cool.
We're hoping to go for a hike.
I think they have all the trails closed.
Yeah.
What if we get a refund on our $10 parking fee that your Parks Pass does not cover?
We shall see.
Everything is closed.
It is pretty amazing even if we have to only stand right here to see it.
Wow.
Click the thumbs up and subscribe.
No, that was good.
That was good.
