As you head east on I-90, there are various places you can stop, stretch your legs, and have some fun as well.
A couple of our favorites in South Dakota, along that wide expanse would have to be Wall Drug. The signs for it start showing up before you even know it exists. We stopped in last year and had fun with the Sheriff's Dept, so we had to come back. This time we got both the Sheriff's Dept and the Fire Dept .... and you know we love that. This is one of those small towns with big heart and pride, and it shows. We thank both departments for sharing part of their day with us.
Then, of course, the 1880 Town ... a walk back in time to the days of livery stables, stage coaches, and some real time cowboys.
They had memorabilia from the movie "Dances with Wolves", including "Buck", Kevin Costner's character's horse from the movie.
We had a lot of fun posing Chief in the various set ups. He hung out at the fire house, made a deposit at the bank to help us with gas on the tour, had a filling prairie dinner, swilled back a sarsaparilla at the local saloon, and had a danged good time. Hope you like the results.
And since that couldn't enough for a long day on this tour, we had to stop back in to see our friends in Murdo to visit the Pioneer Auto & Prairie Town. C'mon, how could you drive by them? The General Lee, and Elvis' motorcycle are there.
It's long haul on that I-90 stretch, have fun ... It's there to be had. Before you know it you'll be right there at the Corn Palace ... But more about that on the next post.
