Day 16 – Left Rapid City. Made the obligatory visit to Wall Drugs which advertises via billboards across South Dakota. There’s something for everyone including giant Jackalope rides. Stopped to enjoy the view of the badlands of South Dakota in Badlands National Park. If you enlarge the last Badlands picture, there are two big horn sheep (or mountain goats) we spotted. We settled for the night at a campground in Chamberlain, SD on the water. Took the kayak out on the Missouri River and had fun exploring down a creek until it got too swampy to move. Startled a lot of birds, frogs, fish, and a huge heron. Passed under a bridge with hundreds of tiny birds (swallows or martins?) flying in and out of their mud nests. Love all the wildlife on this trip.
