Al's Oasis -- a "miniature" Wall Drug

Our day finished at "Al's Oasis" in South Dakota. It is "freezing" out here--at least it seems that way to us after months in Panama and the last few weeks of temperatures in the 90s in Tennessee! The temps were in the low 60s during the day and somewhere in the 50s now--brrr!!! Since I have to sit outside at the picnic table at our campsite in order to get WIFI to post this, it seems even colder!!


This place is like a miniature "Wall Drug", for those of you who have visited it. (For those that haven't yet, all I can say is "GO"...it's hard to describe.) It has a series of shops (grocery, bank, gift shop, bar, restaurant) with the storefronts like an old western town.


Inside the restaurant--which has a 5 cent cup of coffee advertised for miles--just like WALL DRUG--is a great display of taxidermy including deer, elk, bison, pheasant, geese, etc. along with old signs, antlers, etc.

The food and salad bar was surprisingly delicious!
