Return Trip: Day #3 & 4

I took one day off to visit with my father and his wife, Jan.
Tora also enjoyed it greatly since there were squirrels all over the place and my father's dog Erma to play with.
On Monday I started driving again, going from Minneapolis to Wall, South Dakota, home of Wall Drug. This was no surprise since from 355 miles away there were signs for their main shop and they continued the whole trip.
South Dakota seems to be the billboard heaven. There were signs for every cheesy tourist stop along the way. My favorite was the Corn Palace in Mitchell SD.
The Jeep has to have some of the worst aerodynamics of any car out there. I was blown around like crazy every gust of wind.
Today was the first day that I did some actual tourism. I went to see the Badlands. They were quite beautiful. To get into the right mood I played Ry Cooder's soundtrack to Paris Texas. It totally fit the scenery except for the fact that I listened to it twice and was still driving. Toward the end I came really close to running out of gas which is probably not a good thing to do in the Badlands.
