Survived South Dakota












We started our day with breakfast at Wall Drug. It was a day for another detour as we drove through some of Bad Lands National Park. Such cool land formations--no wonder the Indians, fur trappers and explorers called it the badlands though.
It was forever driving though South Dakota and a time for napping for me, since I didn't sleep real well last night. The cabins were cute but the AC/heater kept coming on far too frequently, the wind was just howling and the sun came up way too early(0430)-since we were on the far end of the time zone. Enjoyed the rolling hills and lots of farmland of Iowa. Have seen the Missouri river several times today--a much bigger river over here. They like Wind farms here in Iowa too. Good weather day until we got about 30 minutes out of Des Moines, where we are spending our night.
