Postcards from South Dakota, Part 1

 Diego Luis has just returned from the mailbox and discovered a stack of postcards all addressed to him!  They are from his BFF Chance Victor, who is on vacation in South Dakota...

"Dear Diego, we made it safe to South Dakota and have been 
on the go since Day 1!  Our first stop was the famous Wall Drug."

"Daddy John called it a tourist trap, but I think he secretly liked it.
I met some interesting people there..."

Chance Victor: Pappy says if I give him 50 cents, he'll tell me
where the lost gold mine is!

Chance Victor: Oh! Hello, er, gosh, um, my goodness, aren't you cold?

"I even got to ride a jackalope!"

"After Wall Drug, we drove through Badlands National Park."

"The landscape is just beautiful and a little bizarre."

"Further along we came across some feral burros.  
Auntie 'Chell wanted to pet them!  Can you imagine?!
I stayed in the car."


Chance Victor's South Dakota adventures conclude next week!

looks like a great vacay! That Wall Drug is indeed a tourist trap. My Dad was born/raised in Deadwood SD. Interesting place.

Chance Victor looks to be having a very interesting time away. A definite strange group of local he met in that drug store! I'm with you Chance Victor, stay away from wild Burros !
