Journey up North

Journey up North

My friend and I decided a few days ago to head out to South Dakota this weekend. I knew it was going to be a long trip but wow…crazy! I left my home in Arvada around 3:45am and picked up my friend in Boulder shortly there after. After nearly running out of gas in Cheyenne, WY we headed up I-25 until we hit I-90. We decided to take a slight detour to see Devil’s Tower Ntl. Monument in North Eastern Wyoming. After getting back on the road we drove through Deadwood, SD and eventually ended up in Mount Rushmore Ntl. Monument. Once we got back on the road we headed toward Badlands National Park, SD. Our original plan was to camp in the National Park but seeing that the weather was rather wintry we found a place to stay in Wall, SD. About 50miles outside the town we started seeing signs about Wall Drugstore every half mile or so. They were rather funny and we just knew we had to check out a place like that!

2-day/1-night Trip Total: 1314.7miles and 24hr. 2min. of driving
