What's wrong with this picture?



I'm not sure which was more exciting--going to Wall Drug, or seeing a real Jackalope:



Nostalgia found. Minuteman missile station bunkers.




Door to underground missile control unit



A mere three inches of glass separates these three from an intercontinental ballistic missile.



The Badlands speak for themselves.





Crazy Horse



Reptile Gardens




Sturgis. The infamous Knuckle Saloon.



I have no idea.



Devil's Tower



And the boys admiring it while we took pictures



Random wildlife. The mountain goat was standing in an island in the road just outside Mt. Rushmore.
The longhorns were in a field just outside the Devil's Tower area.

Waterbed

Explains why our water pressure was lousy when we turned the sprinklers on for the summer.
