September 28: To Waterloo, Iowa

Wall Drug
Famous Wall Drug

Mile 11,291 – Waterloo, Iowa. Since we spent the night in Wall, South Dakota, P.J. made the obligatory photograph of Wall Drugs (before they opened!). We spent another quick hour in the Badlands, and then it was drive, drive, drive, all day long.  The landscape gradually changed from dry grassland to dry farmland.  Politics does make a difference: in South Dakota we saw no windfarms— in Minnesota, they are ubiquitous.
