12.aug.19 - Minuteman Missle Site and Wall Drug and Wall Crawl MC Rally


The town of Wall is named for the Geological Formation that is the Badlands Most Iconic Scenery. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall,_South_Dakota

Its Exit 109 on the I-90, the same road in the opposite direction will take you to the Pinnacles Overlook in the Badlands in about 8 miles. Park fee was $25 - so be ready for that
Wall Drug and Wall Crawl MC Rally
Wall Drug is one of South Dakota's premier tourist destinations. Its location is perfect and its just a huge store and restaurant, kind of fun to walk around in with some good stuff, good food, and some tourist trinkets. The family owns the town pretty much and probably a whole lot more by now

The MC Rally I just saw signs about and a lot of Bikes driving through the Loop Road through the Park. It seems to extend the Sturgis Rally and there is a Badlands Harley Dealership in Wall.



Minuteman Missle National Site
This is something of a museum of the cold war. There is a movie and exhibits showng the stark simplicity of the threat of Total Destruction as a means of keeping the peace. There are two other sites - A missle silo and a launch facility nearby. This is at Exit 131 which is another entrance to the Badlands Park as well.
