We're having so much fun planning this trip! Caleb especially has been marking up the atlas trying to figure out the best way to see all the thing we want to see.
We're having trouble figuring out the plains, however. After Yellowstone, it's a tough call. Should we do the Badlands or go back to Rte 2? We're thinking about seeing the Ingalls homestead in DeSmet, SD as well as the Corn Palace in Mitchell. Or, if we do the Badlands, do we skip Wall Drug or is it a must see?
And how can we get back to NY without going through Chicago? Choices choices choices.
Ok, having just looked into the Ingalls Homestead, we officially have to go.
We will also go to Hannibal, MO. It has been decided.
Wall Drug is not a must-see. We stopped there on our way from MT to Gordon the summer after we got married and it's just a big tourist trap, IMO. Not the authentic, small-town, old-America feel I think you're going for. :)
