Wall Drug


The first sign for Wall Drug starts at the South Dakota border - 335 miles from the store. We estimate that we saw about 40 or 50 billboards for this store - some samples below. The billboard craze was initiated by the owner's dream which suggested she advertise free ice water for travelers (1931). At the time they were near closure for lack of business. Now they are America's number one roadside attraction!






Now you should understand that the best things at Wall Drug are not purchased. See Kira and Karly below.


We did finally tell Karly that Jackelopes were only a myth.



We did not know at this time we would be almost as close to real wild buffalo.


Laura Ingals- Karly is not. Her real idea of roughin' it is IPOD battery low.
