Now we are in SD. We stopped for the night in Kimble, SD at a Super 8 Motel. It is run by an older couple. It is a very quiet area. We walked to a truck stop across the road for a light supper. I had a loaded baked potatoe (mom, it was sooo good) and guess what Mel had..Sure enough, a burger. We ate a good meal at about 3:00 this pm. We did some walking this eve for exercise. Tomorrow we plan to get to the Black Hills and attend the Passion Play in the eve.
Further west-all the way through Minnesota
Turbines at the Mississippi River
House boat vacation- personal jet ski and all
We stopped at the Mississippi River Locks and watched the locks work and left some vacation house boats through. Very interesting. I wonder how much those house boats are- hot tubs and everything on it!
Today was another day of "hitting" it to get there. We left this morn at 7:15 am and were on 90 west the whole day. There were no tolls today at all. A lady told us that Illinois is really bad for tolls, which we said amen to. Wonderful driving--real flat and long--- I set the cruise at 72 (speed limit was 70) and did not touch the brake or throttle for approx 1 hr! Traffic was very light. Alot of motorcycles!!This is the Mississippi when we crossed over.
