Boondocking again

August 11, 2010
Oacoma, SD

We're headed into buffalo country, with all sorts of indications along the highway...
Yep, it's Al's Oasis all right...
We've stopped for the night at Al's Oasis, a tourist trap in the small town of Oacoma, just on the west side of the Missouri River. They have a store, restaurant, bar, gift shop, motel, RV Park - just about everything. The best thing? They have a big, level paved lot across the street where we can park overnight for free. We'll need to run the air all night, since the temperatures are still in the 80s, but that's no problem. We'll be back on the road in the morning, heading to Badlands National Park...


The buffalo is OK, but Merlin and Maya Lynn really don't care for the fake horse!
We just missed a series of storms that passed to our south, but were treated to a nice rainbow for luck.

Glad you are enjoying SD and didn't drive across it in a day like IA. There is still much to see as you continue on to Rapid.
