Wall Drug

When I was 10 or so I was so excited to go. After all. a place with that many bill board had to be good. Sadly it turned out to be a store with a jackelope. Cool but not up to my high expectations.

After miles and miles of miles and miles. It is a very satisfying stop for many reasons. Yes it is a truly kitschy and quirky place. Very touristy. But with a little time to wander the store you will find one of the best western art collections

anywhere on display. Part museum and part store the artifacts

are everywhere but yet hard to find. The book store is one of the finest. The jewelry selection extensive. A boot selection I’ve not seen anywhere else. It’s impossible to describe if you’ve not been there. A huge complex and a great time if you have a little time to kill.

I spent the night here while travelling cross-country from Maryland to Washington. The old motel I stayed in (The Welsh Motel) was good, and I got some delicious doughnuts in the morning at the Wall Drug. I can’t really recommend stopping there, but it doesn’t matter because you will end up stopping anyway. Enjoy.

It’s really tacky and everything is way overpriced, but it’s the sort of the place one should stop for on a road trip just because it’s so utterly ridiculous and american.

Have some of the doughnuts and 10 cent coffee. It’s some of the best stuff you’ll ever eat!
