From Rapid City to Sioux Falls

A long drive across long long roads - the longest yet so nothing much achieved today except the move Eastward.


The view was gently rolling to flat


with the exception of the glimpse of the Badlands to the South. (See above.) The roads were long and the temperatures soared to a high of 108F which is about 40C. This reading showed 104 I think.


Bypassed the Badlands as we were running out of time to get East and I was too chicken, Jerry, scared of the rattlesnakes and the heat. The GPS played tricks on us and tried to send us to Sioux City. But we outwitted the damn thing and asked at an information centre. We had a midway break at Chamberlain at Al's oasis. On Als menu he had a menu for whippersnappers.


Had to get that one on camera. Went and had a view of the Missouri River from Chamberlain


as you can't stop to take photos on the interstate.


I keep calling it the Internet. Arrived at motel at 5pm and much to Hunter's delight we have a water park in the motel.


So the first task was the crossing.











Tomorrow on to Minnesota to see Dan's cousin, Joyce. Ciao!
