Made it to Souix Falls, SD today. Easy drive today. We're about 6 to 8
hours from the Mt. Rushmore area. Got in early to do some laundry this
evening.
The rolling hills through Wisconsin and Minnesota are really
beautiful. The pristine farms with their silos are seen everywhere.
Suprisingly, there are also tall hills and valleys, unlike the
Mississippi Valley which is as flat as a board. Going to be
interesting to see how South Dakota changes my previous conception
(misconception). I have always thought of it as a dry, barren state.
However, the tourist guide book I picked up from the office here is
showing a lot of trees in the state.
Hoping to check out the Corn Palace in Mitchell tomorrow as we drive
to Hill City. Understand the Black Hills are because of the dense
forest. I always thought it was from lava or some other geological
event. Fun to learn.

Hey Guys! I'm just ahead of you in Mitchell - saw the really weird Corn Place today. Tomorrow will head to Hill City and J. Rafters for 3 nights - with of course, a stop a Wall Drug - a must see! Would love to hook up with you two. Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Custer State Park, Needles Highway, even Devil's Monument (Close Encounters of the Third Kind) all to be seen before I head out to WY on Saturday morning. Weather is suppose to be a little cooler but nice and clear. Give me a holler!
HI there...this is Wanda with the South Dakota Office of Tourism. Glad to hear you're having a good time so far! As you make your way through South Dakota, let us know if there's anything we can do to help! 1-800-S-DAKOTA.
