Here we are at a School Playground Campground

June 10, 2015... We arrived at Belle Fourche, S.D. at and old school that was turned into a campground in the playground. Looks a little rough... we'll see. Only $16/nite with water/elec..
        I ask if it was peaceful around here? Wendell said for the most part ? Well after supper we were in the Airstream when Carol heard yelling. Next a Police Car pulled up and the officer got out to talk to a neighbor across the street, then another Police car showed up with 2 officers as back up. They talked to both parties for an 1/2 hour then they left....
        Here they come again !!! They talked again and settled them down.. I think the neighbor was yelling profanities across the street to some one in a camper (look like a full timer ). I was waiting for the film crew to show up just like Cops !! The rest of the night was peaceful ... Good Night Zzzzzzz  God Bless AirstreamHobo and Mom 

June 10,2015 Wall Drug, SD.

 Mom loves older Skinner Cowboys !!

 This is as close as we get to Mt. Rushmore

 Here I get my ride on a Jackalope Rabbit

 Drive all day for a Free Cup of Ice Water !!

Here it is .... Wall Drug Store on Main St. in Wall, SD.

June 10, .. We leave Mitchell at 9 am today still heading West on Rt 90. 4 hours later we arrive in Wall, SD. for the ultimate Tourist Trap ?? This place is pretty cool and gives travelers a place to stop and unwind from driving. The main store has the strip of many smaller stores as front design but as soon as you pick a door you are in one big room with walls dividing the different items for sale.
      We saw signs for Free Ice Water all along Rt 90 for over a 100 miles. You see the cup we get and refills are free too! Coffee is only 5 cents a cup too. I got a free bumper sticker too.
     We walked around for an hour looking at all the things. I found cowboy boots for $500.00.... Mom said NO !! Out back of main store there is lots more to see plus many photo opportunities to smile. There is a light rain falling but feels good and cools down the Hot Day.
   We continue on Rt 90 West thru Sturgis, yes where the motorcycles gather during the 1st week of August. We go north on Rt 85 to find a Passport America Campground in Belle Fouche,SD. The rate was $16/water & electric .... Tired we stop here for the night, drove 350 miles today. That's enough for us old people?

Did you see a Bug ?

June 5,2015 ..We leave the camp at 10 am as usual..heading for Illinois. When we cross the state line we always stop at Welcome Center for maps.While there a man came up to us to see if we were in the Airstream, he asked if we were headed to the Annual Bug Fest in Effingham ? I said whats that ? He explained that VW owners from all over are coming there for a Bug Fest. Did we want to see it? It's FREE..that's all I had to hear !!
      The camping was free too, we pulled in on nice grassy field and parked next to him, Rob and his wife, Carol. She was driving the VW Cabriolet Convertible and he was driving the truck and camper. He had to pay $25.00 to register the VW and get his Goody Bag... wow the bag had lots of goodies, well worth the money.
   Next Rob told me there was a road rally parade at 4pm and ask if I wanted to go along for the ride with them ... YES !! We drove about 15 miles around the countryside and ended up in Downtown Effingham Square for a big display for the town. We ate at the park too and walked around all other VW's for a sneak peak of them.I took alot of pictures on Friday so I will post part one here... More later ...   https://picasaweb.google.com/AirstreamHobo/BugFestInEffinghamIL?authkey=Gv1sRgCK2fmo3X-bTS7gE
