Yesterday we spent the day travelling thru Iowa and Minnesota. Corn fields everywhere and more wind turbines. Iowa is the place where John Deere is headquartered (saw many pieces of equipment being transported on the highway) and where Meredith Wilson is from and which inspired the "Music Man" (one of Dottie's favorite musicals) Stayed overnight at a very nice campground, Big Sioux Recreation Area near Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Today was all South Dakota! The plains go on forever! The sky surrounds you. Visited Badlands National Park. Amazing! Enjoyed the many overlooks. Hot, in the 90's. Stopped at Wall Drug Store (just had to after all those billboards!), got our free glass of ice water. Arrived at Happy Holiday RV Park in Rapid City around 6 pm (mountain time).
So far it has been well worth the 1,777 mile drive!
