Wall Drug/Cactus Cafe

Lunch on Thursday was at the cactus cafe- a local favorite in wall, sd. The "lunch buffet" was not the best choice, however.


As will become a common theme in many of our photos, bikers and bikes covered South Dakota for the few days we were in town. We unknowningly timed our trip to concide with over 700,000 (not a typo) bikers flocking to sturgis, sd and the nearby area for their annual meet-up weekend. Very friendly on the whole, but their vast numbers have the inconvenient effect of driving motel prices up to three times their normal rates. As one lady motel clerk proclaimed to us, "it's Christmas here!" Yay!


Wall drug above....a mini-mall done South Dakota style. If you've been there or have been inundated by the 50 miles of advertisments broadcasting it's existence, my apologies. It's best offering? A $1.99 used horseshoe that Frank jumped all over....
