We awoke this morning in Valentine, NB., about 9 miles from South Dakota. Tonight we are in Palisades State Park near Brandon, SD, about 9 Miles from Minnesota and Iowa. Tomorrow will tell which state we choose to travel to. We are ahead of schedule, so have many interesting options to choose from.
We had forgotten that this is Father's Day weekend, and legions of families are out camping! The first two campgrounds we tried were full, so we ended up in this delightful park about fifteen miles north of I-90. It is cool and shady and very pleasant. It is wonderful to be a part of Americana that sees families spending time together riding bikes, kayaking, swimming, BBQing, etc. We are blessed to be Americans!
Happy and Cinda are now seasoned hunting buddies. Once out of camp we let them loose and they run and leap over the tall grasses like truly freed souls. It's great fun to watch. They return, thirsty and panting, and happily ride for hours in the air conditioned van.
We stopped in Mitchell, SD. To visit the Corn Palace, where they make murals with dried corn on the cobs, all in different colors of corn. An amazing part of American history, as they have been putting up fresh murals annually since the early 1900's. For two days we have been driving across the great American plains....maybe something new tomorrow? Love, Liz
