We traveled across South Dakota today.
Our first stop was Sturgis where they are getting ready for the big motorcycle rally in early August. Already starting to set up tents and vendors are moving in. It is a really beautiful area.
What trip to South Dakota is complete without a visit to Wall Drug? It was much bigger and nicer than what I remember from our first visit -- and even more commercial!
I was dreading the trip across the Badlands and was surprised to find that it was much more pleasant than in 1974. At that time it was not a National Park. Now there are nice roads, scenic pull-outs and visitor centers with restrooms! It truly is unique and beautiful.
We headed east to Mitchell and stopped to see the Corn Palace. How amazing that they decorate the building every year with native grains & grasses.
Staying at Sioux City tonight.
