While I was doing laundry at the Mt. Rushmore KOA, I visited with a sweet gal from Iowa. She remarked that she lived a few miles west of "Sewer City" and when she saw the perplexed look on my face, she laughed and said that is what all of the natives call Sioux City, because it is a stinky, dirty city. Well, as we traveled through Sioux City, I have to admit that we all agreed with her! We even had to put the air on recirculate in the truck to keep from being sick. So, that was our laugh for the day. We also traveled by the birthplace of Laura Ingalls Wilder, located in De Smet, SD. Viewing the vastness of the Great Plains certainly brought her books to life.
One correction to a previous post, the little town near our KOA Campground was Hill City! (sorry, I haven't learned how to edit previous posts)
Earlier, I mentioned "Sturgis", but am also learning more and more about this event daily. Apparently, it is like a Harley Davidson annual pilgrimage from destinations all over the world. It begins today, August 1st and will continue until August 10th. Everywhere we've travel, we hear and see Harleys!
Here are some pictures of our "home away from home" in South Dakota:
Rob has become quite an expert at setting up and unhooking our fifth wheeler! Tonight we are staying at Victorian Acres Campground in Nebraska City, Nebraska. Tomorrow we'll continue through Kansas and Missouri.
