Help me plan a trip from Baltimore to South Dakota and back!

Wall Drug & Badlands are a must. Stay at Wall and you can hit the Black Hills early. Keystone is a great place to stay. I'd do one cave. Wind is the NP but I think Jewel was a bit nicer. The drive on 16 through Jewel is really cool. Take Iron Mountain Rd & Needles Hiway for sure. You can do it as a loop but both have tunnels that face Mount Rushmore so it's nice to do both loops twice (out & back). There is a cool drive up a mountain, Mount Coolidge, just south of 16 on 87 that takes you up to a very high point. I haven't been to Crazy Horse. I didn't care for Devil's tower. Its a long way out and its not any more impressive than the pictures. Center Lake is a nice lake and it's also on a shortcut (also on google maps) to the south end of the black hills. I thought Deadwood was a bit overrated too. Check out the Corn Palace in Mitchell...but dont go out of your way to do it. Chamberlian SD is really nice and the drive on 90 gets really nice after that too.

A nice truss bridge crosses the Missouri River (Lake Francis Case) via Business 90 parallel to I-90 at Chamberlain; each direction of travel gets a one-lane bridge.
P.S. Laura, I think your itinerary is terrific and believe you will have a great time on your trip!

Yes, exit chamberlain and take the old highway. the overlook rest area on the south side of 90 provides a good view too.

In 2012, we did Baltimore to Mount Rushmore. A short trip off I-90/94 in Wisconsin is worth this: Take WIS 113 across the Merrimack Ferry (Lake Wisconsin). It's free, it runs every 15 minutes, and the surrounding area is pretty. Since you're coming East through Wisconsin on 90, shoot off at Exit 92 for US 12, work your way over to WIS 113 in Baraboo, and take WIS 113 the entire way to Madison, where you can get back on I-90 via Aberg Ave to WIS 30 to the Badger Interchange.

Would some other posters here from Chicago please spring to the defense of Caputo Cheese Market please?
It really and truly is an amazing place to buy cheese. Domestic and foreign, I can't imagine anywhere else having a better selection under one roof.
BTW, if you haven't tried Leiteria De Minas Brasile Cheddar, (no idea what the Portuguese part means) you have NEVER had sharp cheddar in your life. I have never encountered any cheddar labeled sharp, extra sharp or super sharp coming anywhere close!!! It is the essence, quintessence, the be all and end all of sharpness.
Be advised, the odor is strongly (putting it mildly) off putting, but the flavor is VIVIDLY INTENSE.
spoiler alert:
the odor is very strongly that of vomit and rubbing alcohol !!! People will notice what you're eating!!!!
