We moved from Elk Mountain to a boondocking spot near Wall, SD. This is a great spot, probably the best boondocking spot we have had. It is on Buffalo Gap National Grasslands land and overlooks the north edge of Badlands National Park (we are within sight of the entrance to the National Park). We are on a bluff overlooking the South Dakota Badlands a couple hundred feet below.
Our Route
Our Site - no one real close - also, our new solar panels - we have four 100 watt panels on the roof and just added two more 100 watt panels that we can position on the ground - they are working out great

Wall Drug
Wall Drug is a famous tourist stop in Wall, South Dakota - it is somewhat like "South Of The Border" in South Carolina with frequent billboards on the Interstate for 100 miles before you get there. It is mainly a tourist trap with an enormous gift shop, several places to eat and a few other shops.
They have a few animatronic displays that were built in the 50's and are still working
Donna with a Don Imus look alike
This animatronic display was quite good - they even kept time to the music
The obligatory jackalope
Badlands National Park
Several Views Of The Park
A heard of mule deer around a watering hole
Big Horn Sheep On A Steep Cliff - these were all females and lambs - didn't see any rams with the big horns
Mother and lamb
Same mother and lamb
A few buffalo at prairie dog town - if you look close you can see 3 prairie dogs in the foreground. We found out that the buffalo prefer to graze around prairie dog towns because the grass has more nutrients in it - we looked for this and it was pretty consistent that when you saw buffalo, there were prairie dogs nearby
