This is just a road marker for where you will turn off for the Badlands. Stop and learn about the missiles if you want.

I won't go through the Black Hills without stopping at this place any more! This info on Roadtrippers says they have a cafe -- maybe you could stop for breakfast and see the horseys! The same info was not on their website, so I would call before hand - to see what they really have for food in the morning:

The Wild Horse Café & Ice Cream Shop (seasonal) is open Monday through Saturday from 8:30am until 4:30pm and Sundays 12:30pm until 4:30pm providing breakfast and lunch for Sanctuary visitors from drip coffee to gourmet espresso drinks; 1/4 lb Angus burgers, Pulled Pork, Black Bean Burgers, Ice Cream Sodas and 100% Fruit Smoothies, there is something for everyone on our menu. Boxed lunches are available for Group Tours by reservation. Newly enclosed air-conditioned patios with mustang views. The Sanctuary is located on SD Highway 71, 12 miles south of Hot Springs at Rocky Ford Road. Follow the Sanctuary signs into the Visitor Center. PLEASE NOTE* GPS directions are not recommended.
