South Dakota Trip - Day 4

Tuesday morning Dad & Mom made breakfast over our little propane range.

After breakfast, we walked around and looked at the different displays until the visitors center opened.

We decided to take a covered wagon ride around the property. Several of us got to try driving the team that was pulling our wagon.

At the school, our tour guide have us a history lesson, and then took us to church.

When the wagon ride was over, several wanted to go on the pony-cart ride, while the rest of us went back to the motorhome and packed up a few last-minute items.

The motorhome had to be given much encouragement to start. Finally the engine submitted, and we were on our way.

Just after leaving the Ingalls Homestead, we stopped at Loftus Store in De Smet. Because of the name, I was kinda hoping it would be a 1880's era set-up, but it was mainly just a gift shop.

Most of the afternoon was spent driving. I didn't want Dad to have to spend the entire trip viewing the scenery from the drivers seat, so I took a turn behind the wheel. 😀

We passed the Badlands, and too many signs for Wall Drug.

Tuesday night we parked at Minute Man Campsite. I could see the Badlands from the window.
