Backtracking A Bit October 4, 2010

I am going to be jumping around a bit trying to get caught up on some of the things we have done and places we have been. 

When we left Hill City, SD we travelled to Pierre, the capital of South Dakota.  We learned early on that Pierre is pronounced “Pier” and not “P-air”…hope you understand that.  We stopped at a rest area on our way and saw the folks below.  Sorry it is such a bad picture but I had to take it through the screen because I did not want them to know that I was taking their picture.  I have never seen anyone with their laundry hung out to dry at a rest area before.  I thought it was okay to post this picture since you can’t identify the people.

We stayed at a really nice city park in Fort Pierre which is just across the river from Pierre.  We had full hookups with 50 amps for $10.00 a night.  We stayed 2 nights and we were right on the Bad River.  They probably have about 15 spaces.  Would definitely stay there again.015

At this location, Lewis and Clark made the first contact with the Teton Sioux.021

This is the covered pavilion located at the park.041

The leaves were starting to show their brilliant fall colors as we made our way into Minnesota.  We are starting to stay at small city parks when possible.  As we are totally self contained we don’t need hookups for at least several days.  SD and MN 010 SD and MN 012 SD and MN 017
