Albert Lea, Minnesota to Rapid City, South Dakota

Driving all day in a straight line we finished off Minnesota and most of South Dakota, Sturgis...Deadwood...Wall. The prairies are strikingly beautiful today dressed in greens of every hue. The grasses look soft, velvety, mossy, a real prairie dog paradise. There's been rain, and that's left many areas of standing water, pools and ponds that are wetlands now, but will be sipped dry by the summer sun. We stop at Wall Drug, just because it's there. We're in earlyish. One long day to go and then home is a chip shot.

  1. Consider HWY 212 from Belle Fourche over to I-90. Cuts through a tiny corner of Wyoming. Kelli and I took it this January. Cut time off, was a great road, saw lots of antelope, turkeys, deer. Some of the best scenery on the road.

  2. Did they have a working soda fountain? My mom is always looking for a good milkshake!
