As you might guess from the previous group of photos, Wall SD is located close to the Badlands, actually just a few miles north of the wall formation. Wall SD is a small town of less than 1,500 inhabitants, but Wall Drug is visited by folks from all over the world. Back in the 30's folks traveling through the area were enticed by the offer of 'free ice water' to get off the road for a little while and relax at Wall Drug. Today Wall Drug covers an entire city block and offers souvenirs, western wear, western art, ice cream, home furnishings, old photos, and just about anything else a traveller might want, including free ice water. There are stainless steel buckets filled with ice, scattered all through the facility, right next to water dispensers and stacks of plastic cups.
