Spent the day in Wall, SD at the Wall Drug. For those that have not been there, Wall Drug opened in 1931. They survived the Depression by offering Free Ice Water (which they still offer today along with 5 cent coffee) to thirsty travelers and by building its reputation on friendly service. And in recent years, they have put up billboards advertising Wall Drug for a hundred or so miles before reaching Wall, SD and out of curiosity, people stop. It seems they are busy all the time because of their unique advertising and offerings. It is still a family owned and run business today. However, it has turned into a tourist site and has expanded into many shops and eateries with playgrounds for kids.
The pictures below were taken of pictures they had of the area in the early homestead days, building of mining towns, Custer's last stand, the start of Wall Drug, etc.
Imagine living in this sod house below?? You get to sweep the dirt floor....

We also went to see the "MAX" movie. What a tear jerker. I recommend all to see it.
