Badlands Trading Post

Cactus Flat, SD

Reviewed June 10th, 2005

If its a gas station in South Dakota and it doesn't sell enough knives to supply the Chinese Army as well as canned bison meat, then leave immediately for it is not the real thing. At this place I bought a knife with a cheesy mad lion head on the handle and a beer bottle opener on the blade - main purpose if it is I you are asking. I90 can be an unforgiving place. Just over the South Dakota border our jaws dropped when we saw a billboard that threatened harm on animal rights activists, so I knew we needed a little protection. When I saw that it had not rusted by the time I got home from the trip I fainted from shock. Unbelievable. Ever wanna try a "bison dog"? Badlands Trading Post is your place. The bathrooms here have a checkerboard floor and a plaque on the wall covered in glass so you don't steal it. Somebody was grunting in one of the stalls so I chose not to read the plaque. I'd be lying if I said BadlandsTrading Post has all the answers or even all the questions, but it does have some toilets, stuffed animals, commemorative key chains and hat pins, some bison and a hell of a lot of sharp objects for sale.
