After leaving Chicago, we drove west (yay!) and stopped at a campground called Eagle Cliff outside Lanesboro, Minnesota. It was a beautiful, peaceful campground right on the Root River. The only complaint we had was with the showers....they sprayed out everywhere but where you would stand. Made for some interesting contortions!
Harris included this picture to show that yes, indeed, he did stop at some quilt shops for Judy.
A quick stop to see the Corn Palace in Mitchell, South Dakota. We stayed the night in the R&R Campground....a pretty good spot, except one of those "R"s stands for Railroads....very noisy in the night!
A glimpse of the Missouri River as we crossed over it.
We thought Reliance would like to know there is a town named after him!
We were passed along the route by lots and lots and lots of motorcyclists on their way to Sturgis, South Dakota for the annual party there.
We decided to tour Badlands National Park, as we had never been there before. It reminded us of places we'd seen in Arizona and Utah, but without some of the color variations. It would be a great place to come back to and spend a little more time, perhaps camping, to get the night views.
We saw prairie dog villages, with sentries guarding their holes and sending warnings to other critters when people got too close.
We made a quick stop at Wall Drug, in Wall, South Dakota. More cyclists!
We detoured off the highway to see Mt. Rushmore, which we hadn't been to in years. The line of cars to get in discouraged us from actually entering , so we took this shot from outside the park.
Around the bend was a view we hadn't seen before...you can only see George, but we thought it was neat.
