Hi there Stan and Rhonda you said put a childhood song in the comments this is it. a song that comes to mind, its glen campbell "gentle on my mind ", its knowing that your door is always open and your path is free to walk. I loved that song as a child.🦬 and I love that you guys film the bison and other animals elks wow thanks so much I never get out. We stay very close to home these days and always on the phone with our 82 yr old mother in law and father in law praying for him to get better from cancer operation after operation Thank you both so much for the great video
Cecelia, Thank you for sharing! We know that song well 🎶 It blesses us to hear that our videos get you out of the house. This is why we love doing what we are doing. My aunt, 83, who instilled the love of traveling in me, can no longer travel and lives vicariously through our adventures. Means the world to us! Prayers for your in-laws 🙏 Rhonda and Stan
Ohh cool gift shop!! So glad you guys were able to make it. We see so many videos there too!!! Looks amazing and we would sooo camp there! That drive was awesome and great music choice!! Keep enjoying life friends! Safe travels!
Hello Friends!! Thank you for joining us. Man!! We had so much fun in the Dakotas! The wind gets pretty high on the Badlands Wall. I like my sleep!!! Lol. Just an amazing area. Next stop Spearfish. Safe travels!! Love your new trailer! Blessings, Stan and Rhonda❤️
Oh my gosh! You guys gave us the hebbie-jeebies looking over that dangerous cliff!!! Wall Drug is always fun! And, by the way, my song would be “I’m a Believer” and “Daydream Believer” equally! Loved the Monkees as a kid! Lyle, my husband, said his would be “ Snoopy vs The Red Baron” by the Royal Guards Men! Thanks for another great video!
Hello Carol and Lyle, those are great songs. Had to look up Snoopy VS The Red Baron. How fun is that? I bet it made you take trip down memory lane. Such a beautiful trip and place. Thank you for allowing us in your home and joining us. Blessings, Stan and Rhonda❤️
We are finishing up our trip to badlands and the wall, went to Wall drugs ,Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, Devils Tower, Deadwood,Spearfish,Sturgis, and now we're in the UP of Michigan. Tomorrow we will head east and sometime this week we'll head down into lower Michigan and head home. It was an amazing trip so far!!!
Hi Deb! Wow, sounds like great minds think alike! 😉We are headed to Michigan this Fall for the first time! Feel free to share the must see places! Thanks for reaching out! ~ Rhonda and Stan
Hi Jason, Cascade was probably our favorite campground of the ones we saw that day! We were kind of kicking ourselves that we didn’t stay there at least for a few days. Next time! Thanks for sharing how much you enjoyed it and South Dakota 👏 Bet it was beautiful in the Fall! ~ Rhonda and Stan
Hey Tim, I would definitely wait till the end of April. Many of the campgrounds don’t open till May 15th. Just food for thought. Thank you for joining us! Stan and Rhonda
Been a fan for YEARS you guys. Great job with your channel! YES - "The Wall" will be my 2nd day after I go full-time in a few years. Starting out in St. Paul, stay overnight somewhere (pop champagne to celebrate 1st night) then off to SD BADLANDS. (more champagne to celebrate my 2nd night!) LOL... THANKS for your work.
Wow! We saw a few camping at the wall, but we are with you guys we’d rather be in a campground with hookups especially with the pups. There was a dirt road that led us to Robert’s prairie dog town where we encountered a bunch of prairie dogs and bison. We were at the badlands white river koa. The views at Badlands were amazing. Being from Georgia the time difference helped us get an early start. We were done with the notch trail hike by 8:00am. We did the same thing with the cliff, we don’t feel so bad now. Great video guys. Butch and Becky
Hello Butch and Becky, we saw you did Notch Trail on your post!! 🙌👏 awesome job guys!! I think we saw that campground when we headed out of the back of the Badlands. We took dirt roads to see the southwest side of the Badlands then the dirt road back to Hot Springs. You definitely saw the best part. Thank you for joining us. Safe travels. Blessings, Stan and Rhonda
You are so right we did it in September last year and most of the time we were the only people there. Can’t wait to see your video on Spearfish it’s beautiful devils tower was amazing and I hope Stan got to go up and fold the flag at Mount Rushmore if you did the night lighting. Thanks From Wisconsin
Hi Robert, unfortunately they were not doing the lighting ceremony when we were there. We did go there at night and we were there all by ourselves!! It was amazing!!! Just us and one ranger. Yes, Spearfish is next!! Although it rained for the whole time we were there we saw some amazing wild life and special stuff. The most amazing blessing is the weather cleared while we were at Devils Tower and socked in and stormed when we left. Blessings, Stan and Rhonda
I’ve camped at the “Wall” a few times and will be in next week. Never been there when it’s not windy. I’ve got I-80 out of Evanston eastbound to break my axle. (Last week! 🤬) If you take it easy on the dirt road it’s better than a pothole at 60+ mph. Not a fan of Wall Drug. Definitely the correct definition of “tourist trap” but certainly something everyone need to see once. Stay safe!
Hi Bill, sorry to hear about your axle. Ya I’m not a fan of Gail Force wind. I must agree about Wall Drugs one and done. Like you said you have to do it once. Safe travels! Thank you for joining us. Stan and Rhonda❤️
thanks so much for sharing your adventures. miss seeing you guys so these videos are great. randy and i need to get back to SD. we missed the badlands when we were there. we did enjoy deadwood.
Hi Deb! We miss you and Randy 🥰 We sure had fun at that rally despite the rain and wind 💨 The Badlands is something worth seeing in person for sure. We did Deadwood in this trip so that’s coming up in a few weeks 👏 Any trips planned this summer? So good to hear from you! ~ Rhonda and Stan
Great video as always. We will be traveling essentially the same route in a month staying for a week in Hot Springs and then moving north. We will be staying on the wall next to the Badlands although I suspect it will be a lot more crowded when we get there in mid-July. The game of tether ball brought back memories from years ago. Safe travels.
Hello Tary, that is awesome!! It will definitely be warmer too! We were told Theodore Roosevelt National Park was the same as the Badlands. Well, we went up there. Surprise spoiler. It was so different and incredibly beautiful. Thank you for joining us! Next stop Spearfish another amazing adventure. Blessing, Stan and Rhonda
110 degrees? We would not of gotten out of the car! We knew it got hot but not that hot. Ouch! The weather during the spring was amazing! They say the fall was also beautiful. Blessing, Stan and Rhonda
Hell Gary, you are so right!! Man I tried to hide. Thank you for joining us on this adventure. It amazes me what folks like yourself pick up. Blessings, Stan and Rhonda
Partridge Family, 'it's one of those nights', and also, 'echo valley 26809'. Dan Fogelberg, 'the power of gold', and 'heart hotels'. btw I'm just a couple years younger than you guys.
Planning a trip to South Dakota next year. Just purchased our Grand Design 22MLE and getting her ready. Your videos are full of great information and ideas...always looking forward to more!
Jonathan, Thank you so much for reaching out and for your kind words. Means so much to us! Congratulations on your new purchase 👏 Love that you have a pantry in that model! 🤩 Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. You can email us at overthehilladventure@gmail.com Have you done your shake down trip? ~ Rhonda and Stan
The wall is the place I have been planning to go to.wind I can deal with ,just no rain I hear it gets greasy. Plan on staying several days then to Hill City. A campground I have stayed at several times is Rafter J
Thank you for joining us! We there to early. Rafter J was still closed. To much rain on the Wall. Palmer Gulch was an amazing stay. We tucked in a corner all by ourselves. Safe travels, Stan and Rhonda
Thank you for joining us and your input. In the next few you will see where stayed in that area. We had a wonderful stay at Palmer Gulch KOA. Custer State Park was the best stay ever! When you can stay inside the State and National Parks, we find we are the happiest. Blessings, Stan and Rhonda
As a kid living in southwestern Pa. I have never seen or heard of Tetherball. It wasn''t until my family and i moved to Tucson Az at age 14 that my new friends introduced me to this game at my middle school. It seemed as tho every school in Tucson had Tetherball. I have since moved back to my southwestern Pa. Hometown and the schools still do not have that game. Crazy to think just how popular it is out west and not back east.
Hello Bill, thank you for sharing. We love the fact it triggered a memory. As kids we played it all the time in the west. Thank you for joining us on this adventure. Blessings, Stan and Rhonda
Love it! Had to look up the Hank Williams song, but very familiar with Puff The Magic Dragon 🐉 from the cartoon 😂👍 Thanks for sharing! ~ Rhonda and Stan
I went to Wall Drug with my family as a child. I am looking forward to seeing your trip to Custer.😊 The Badlands dispersed camping is beautiful but it looked very bumpy when you drove in. That would make me sick
Claudia, Does Wall Drug look any different from when you were a kid? It was worth the stop just to see Stan ride a jackelope 😜😂 We are definitely looking forward to sharing our Custer adventures 👏 The wildlife has only just begun 🦬🦌 Have a great rest of the week!! ~ Rhonda and Stan
Yes. From what I remember, Wall Drug seems more developed now. What I remember from my childhood trip is seeing many, many signs for Wall Drug on our drive west. Six weeks until our trip! It was fun to watch this video again.😊
Just found you guys. We are researching going to South Dakota soon. We are planning on staying around Custer and also boondocking at the Wall Badlands. We recently had our last dog go to heaven and have one cat traveling with us. We are thinking of spending several weeks in the western portion of SD. Do you think this is enough time to leisurely see all the sites? BTW really enjoying your videos.
Hello Carolynn, so sorry to hear about your dog. Thank you for joining us. We our releasing our special itinerary video at 4:00pm Phoenix time today! It’s called South Dakota don’t miss out. It will have lots of information for you. Make sure you have a pen and paper. We have lots of great information. The Wall Is a great place to boondock but it is not centrally located. Watch our video and tell us if it has enough information for you. We think several weeks is more than enough time. South Dakota has become one of our favorite places. We spent a little over three weeks in South Dakota only because a lot of areas were not open yet. Hope this helps 🙏🏼 Stan and Rhonda ❤️
Hi Harold, We were in Hot Springs, SD the last week of April and then we went to Custer, Hill City and Spearfish the first 3 weeks of May. Weather got a little rainy a few days in Spearfish, but other than that it was beautiful. Thanks for reaching out! ~ Rhonda and Stan
