Cedar Shore Hotel Chamberlain

... up was pretty amazing. After that we headed back to camp for the night.

Today was filled with lots of driving but we made some really awesome stops along the way. We started today out by driving through the Badlands Nat. Park It was hotter than hell, and we were driving through the park in the afternoon. We got out a few times and walked around, but it is pretty much a desert, so a lot of the picture taking was from the ...

... in the little office looked up from the weather channel to take in a biker sharing their fishing headquarters. Walleye was being slaughtered in abundance apparently.

Chatted with a couple of folks about weather, fishing, jobs and of course the Vision. Found a spot in front of my door, between the trucks and boats.

Not much open on Labor Day but Mickey Dees, sigh.

... that they occupied. Inside, there were people dressed up who you could tell had a passion for the story and the land. The kids washed clothes on the washboard, made button games, corncob dolls, wove rope, rode horses and hung out in the barn with the kittens ! Looking out that upper window across The beautiful land made you want to sing ! 160 acres of heaven! I can see why Laura Ingalls wrote about it ! We took a ...

... that the family continued the work. The clouds cleared for few minutes, just enough to take few pictures. In the parking lot, I did take a picture of a license plate - for those who know me from the time before I was married, will know what it means.
Back to Mt.Rushmore!

... I called it an early day today booking into the motel around 4:30 pm. I went to the local restaurant at Casey Drug & Jewelry which I found out was famous for its Cheeseburger. Needless to say I didn't have the Cheeseburger opting instead for the Buffalo burger. The burger tasted really good.

Well I have included photo's from my trip to Wall Drug see if you can see which one the Blog 'Title' is for.

... We took group photos, loaded up the bus, and left Reliance.  I was sad to leave since everyone was so nice, energetic, and happy that we were there, but it was time to move on.  I sat by Mike on the bus.  He was really fun to talk to and had lots of random interesting facts to share with me.  When we fist got on the bus, we all shared stories from our days.  I was the first one to share my experience.  I am usually hesitant to share things ...

... and spicy, cheese spam, honey spam, and plain. Yummmmy. After dragging myself out of the museum and gift shop, we went off to another landmark of sorts. Sophie insisted on going to Blue Earth, MN. Why you ask. She wanted to get her picture taken with the Jolly Green Giant, of course. This area also marked the halfway point along Interstate 90, and our trip. Our next stop was Corn Palace. This complex is covered and designed in corn. Corn on the cob ...

... Devils Gultch is located. It was a pretty park, although Im a bit skeptical that anyone could jump the gorge on a horse. Maybe erosion has worn away the edges and made it wider than in the past. Also, according to the man in the visitors center, the creek beneath the bridge over the gultch has no bottom. Or at least not a reachable bottom. Not sure I entirely believe that either. If I ever learn to scuba dive, I may be back to ...

... pressed up against the inner sheet all over - if you know about these things >> this is not a good thing if it rains. Also if we were sleeping in there we'd be pressed up against one wall and unable to sleep because of the noise from the canvas. Ho Hum. We commence camping next Tuesday in Rapid City (near Mount Rushmore and the Badlands), Looks like a new tent from where I'm sitting - there is a specialist ...

Sunny day and we set off for the L&C Interpretative Centre in Sioux Falls. As we arrived a family arrived on low-slung cycles (where you are almost sitting on a lounge chair with your legs out in front of you. They had set off from St Louis a month ago and were cycling Lewis and Clark - we were impressed. It was going to take them 3 months doing around 40 miles a day. The ...
