RV Squid: Interior and Wall

Badlands National Park is in what some would consider a remote area. The nearest full blown grocery store is around 30 miles away. The nearest urgent care is about 45 minutes away. If you want a Walmart, you're heading 50+ miles away into Rapid City. We stocked up accordingly before arriving at the Badlands/White River KOA. The campground is nestled beside the White River and there are a number of trees shading the sites. So the campground was much greener than we expected.

We took a bike ride on the gravel road across the street from the campground, savoring the views of the Badlands. The swallows on the bridge, and in the park for that matter, were crazy in number. They were only outdone by the moths which seemed to find their way into our RV despite our best efforts.

Naturally we stopped at Wall Drug as it is at the western entrance to the Badlands loop road. Harold gets his free coffee and donut, and I wander around the various departments.

The visitor center for the Minuteman Missile National Historic Site is at the eastern entrance to the Badlands National Park loop road. We stopped at the visitor center on one of our loop trips.We will tour the actual launch control facility in June. I booked in May for a June tour. I overheard one of the rangers say that they're booking for August now and its only the beginning of June. If you're serious about touring a launch control facility, you might have better luck at Quebec One in Chugwater, WY, or the Ronald Reagan Missile Museum in Cooperstown, ND.
