From Wyoming, we headed east to South Dakota. We visited Mount Rushmore, Badlands National Park, the Minuteman Missile National Historic Site, and we even stopped at Wall Drug (For you east coast folks, Wall Drug is like South Dakota's version of South of the Border). We also drove through lots of farmland as we drove east toward Minnesota.

| Mt Rushmore National Historic Site It was so foggy when we arrived that you couldn't see the mountain, but it started clearing soon after. |
