Day 21

Day 21 started out with the normal coffee and tea. Then it was off to breakfast.
Peggy's Place was a bit expensive for what it was, but the food was good.

On to Badlands.

After a couple trips through the Badlands, it was obvious that this was one of those places that was best seen once.


The Missile Control room was next on the agenda. Doug wanted to see a real missile silo. It turned out, you couldn't see a silo near where we were, but we could go down to a missile control room.

 The gates at the Missile control base.

Above are some of the antenna for communication.

We went into the building housing the control room. The control room was 30 feet below ground and is reached by elevator. There is an 8000 lb door to the control room.

Doug, Jim Sandy and Pam head to the airport at Rapid City for a night in a hotel before the flight home in the morning. I rode the other direction to the KOA to get a campsite for the night. 

 Doug and Jim showed up about 9:30 or 10.
Tomorrow we'll be on the road again.
