All along Interstate 90 there were hundreds of billboards advertising the Wall Drug Store and I was beginning to wonder what this was all about when we reached the town of Wall and all was revealed.
‘The Wall’ is actually a rugged topographical strip a half mile to three miles wide and nine miles long with a succession of tinted spires, ridges and twisted gullies which separates the lower prairie from the upper and from which the name of the town of Wall, South Dakota is derived.
Cool!

I’ve never been to that part of the US. It’s on my to-do list after retirement (soon, I hope). I hear that it’s stunningly beautiful. I want to see buffalo.

I did a coach tour holiday. It was a bit rushed. I have a plan to go back one day and drive myself. Trouble is, there are so many other places that I would like to visit in the USA.

I guess the advertising paid off! Do you think it was necessary? Sounds like you couldn’t miss it. 😀

It would be easy to drive straight by without the advertising! An interesting place but to be honest I wouldn’t have been so sad if we had missed it! Just a bunch of shops and food outlets!

Small towns need tourists too. 😀 😀 Now I understand the billboards.

Looks like that photo was taken maybe just a year or two ago? 🙂
