Welcome to the world famous Wall Drug store in South Dakota.
There are signs along the highways for hundreds of miles advertising free water and 25 cent coffee at Wall Drug. We even saw a sign in the middle of nowhere over 1000 miles away. I think regular people put up the signs for fun. Supposedly, there are signs in many countries around the world.
The story begins with a failing drug store in a small town. The owner’s wife came up with the idea to offer free ice water. The owner and his sin made signs and left to put them along the highway. By the time they got back home, thirsty travelers were already stopping for the free ice water. This later expanded to include 25 cent coffee. They still offer both today.
Wall, South Dakota is a short distance from the north side of Badlands National Park. Wall Drug now consists of several city blocks. They even have a parking area dedicated to about 25 or 30 RVs.

Join us as we visit bears up close. They are obviously not wild, but the Oswald Bear Ranch is a rescue location for bears.
Dad had a baby bear try to climb his leg when we were getting pictures with the baby bear. Of course, the workers had our camera and did not capture that part. So sad.

Today, we cross the Mackinac Bridge from lower Michigan to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The Mackinac Bridge is a narrow 4 lane bridge and had construction in 2 different places just on the northbound side. Oh, and by the way, it is a toll bridge but it was not major expensive.
