    Hey Jacob,
    This is one of my all-time favorite videos of yours! Way back when I was in my teens me and my Mom, my Aunt, and a cousin, took a family trip to South Dakota. We visited every attraction that you did in this video! Wall Drug, the Corn Palace, Mount Rushmore, and the town of Keystone, we saw all of them! Ate lunch in the restaurant at the base of Mount Rushmore, stayed overnight in Keystone, had my picture taken sitting next to the dance hall girl on the bench at Wall Drug, and had a buffalo burger at the same place that you had the buffalo hot dog! You sure brought back alot of good memories! Thanks for all you do, Jacob!
    PS, I am now 67 years old, and we went on our trip when I was in my teens!

    I love South Dakota. We travel across this great state every October to go hiking in the Black Hills in October . So much to see and do. I’m 63 and still have not seen and done everything. I really wish you had mentioned Dignity of the Earth and Sky statue in Chamberlain. It’s definitely worth the stop.

    South Dakota is probably my favorite road trip state too! It’s so underrated.
    I have smashed pennies going back to the 1970s from all over the US. It’s a great collecting hobby, doesn’t take up a ton of space, is inexpensive, and fun to took at and sift through later. I have a couple of smashed quarters too!

    The little jackalope animal on the pedestal that collapses up n down almost like its dancing is a rare treasure of a toy!!! My Mom used to spend the entire year collecting little unusual toys, gifts, accessories for each of us 4 kids to put in our Christmas 🎄🎁 stockings, n those little "dancing animals" were one of the best little gifts she ever found!!! I remember filling the Christmas 🎄🎁 stockings with her late at night for my brother n 2 sister's with these special little collectible toys, n I wish I STILL had mine, but, unfortunately, they have been lost along the way. I am 66 yrs old n would love to have one from WALL Drugs!!! What a blast down memory lane past!!! Wall Drugs rules!!!

    I have one smashed quarter from the Cincinnati Zoo, and I have never seen a quarter smashing machine before or since. I don't think they have that machine any more unless it has been moved to a more obscure place (used to be in the manatee building.) The coin has a Sumatran rhino on it, probably my favorite smashed coin.

    The jackelopee is my favorite cryptid. They were no natural predators, including humans, and are said to be bulletproof. Shy and retiring by nature, the jackelopee s prefer habitat are grasslands and woods, but can be found anywhere. They can live up to 200 years, and are said to make excellent companions, if they decide you are trustworthy.

    Good morning carpet bagger 🤗. I hope you’re having a great safe wonderful day but when you’re up around in these parts usually were knee-deep in snow so just as an FYI that’s the reason why a lot of the visitor attractions may not be open. 🙁. This has been an unusual winter for us when it comes down to the precipitation of the snow but that’s just an FYI anyways, you take care and be safe along your way. Thank you for sharing and have a great safe. Wonderful day.🫶🏻🤠
