Day 46 - Granite Falls to Chamberlain, SD

I'm finally writing about today.... whew!

We crossed into South Dakota today, which is our last new state of this journey.  Makes me sad to think there are only two decals left to put on the map (sigh...).

Anyway, we saw our first Wall Drug road-side sign today so that was a milestone (ha ha!).  We also crossed the Missouri River which was amazing.  It looks more like a lake than a river.  Other than that, we basically spent today viewing corn... miles and miles of corn... I've never seen so much corn. 

The good news is that the weather cleared up for a brief time period so we were thrilled to have temps in the low 70s.  How pathetic.

We got set up at camp Oasis.  Jim is anal, as you all know, so he got the truck and trailer washed while the boys and I went to the pool.  They swam, I did not... the weather was too fickle.  I went in to the office to ask about the laundry facilities and the woman wanted to be sure we knew about the storm shelter.  Oh geeze!

Jim came up to the pool just as the boys were getting out so we went back to the trailer to have a quick dinner and I got some more laundry going.  At that point the electrical storm came through and our old friend Rain was back.  Ugh.

After dinner, the rain let up a bit so we walked across the street to see the Oasis shops.  We goofed around taking picures with some buffalo statues (see below).  After that, we walked back to the trailer and got the laundry finished.  Tomorrow will be an early day since we have lots to see on this next leg of our journey!

This was my view from the truck as we crossed the Missouri River:


You missed a spot, Honey (lol!):

Ride 'em Cowboys!
