How could you leave out [Wall Drug?](http://www.walldrug.com/)

(left it out because the OP said _“We’ll stop by Wall Drug, of course…”_)

But, yeah, Wall Drug is a required stop anytime I’m passing through. Last time I was there, I got yelled at for taking pictures of plastic dinosaurs in the gift shop. Which gift shop? I dunno…isn’t the whole place one big gift shop? 😛

:smack: I guess I need to read the OP!

As an aside, my grandparents used to own a hunting lodg just outside of Newcastle, Wyoming. I spent most of the summers of my youth there and in South Dakota. I’m bummed that they no longer own it, as I would have loved to take my daughter there. ☹
