September 3rd
THE WEATHER: Cobalt blue, cloudless skies. Dry, 70’s…… no hurricanes!! The wild west winds are still blowing.
THE DISTANCE: 345 miles to Brandon S. Dakota.
So once we crossed over the black hills we were back in the flatlands of the Midwest. Nothin’ but crops as far as the eye can see. Wheat fields, sunflower fields, sweet pea, hay, corn. What would we do without these farmers that feed us? And of course miles and miles of horses, cows and sheep.
We crossed over the Missouri river and also another time zone. We are now only 1 hour different from those in NH! We are in Tommy’s time zone!!!
Bruno had a particularly good time at the campground we chose today. He met all kinds of new friends, Yogi, Booboo….. and…. ah-hem…. well, he kinda’ fell for Cindy. Notice the sign behind Bruno’s vehicle? He still has hopes of becoming a Ranger some day.
PS: I thought those of you who remember our grandma Max would appreciate the restaurant in town.

Hey Deb, you're making a bee line for home...
ReplyDeletejust curious, at what point did you stop regretting leaving Alaska and begin to just want to be back home in NH??

ReplyDeleteWhen there stopped being things to see :)
South Dakota is wonderful to drive through, but stopping along I-90 in South Dakota is kind of pointless.
Geoff, you are soooooo right! Dan, Somewhere between Butte, Montana and Rapid City, South Dakota. Thanks goodness we had good people to visit to break up the monotony.... but now, it's almost over.
