Thursday, August 6, 2010, Mount Rushmore to Mitchell, SD

We are on the road again and it's 9:25 AM. It's going to be long drive today. The weather has been getting warmer the further south we go. We were really used to the high of 74 degrees. We have stopped at many Walmarts on the way to pick up a few groceries. Many of the RV Parks are really nice. The state of South Dakota is a really wide state and we were in the far southwestern end and have to drive to the south eastern end where it touches Iowa for a short while. We are still seeing millions of motorcycles going west.
The RV Park here in Mitchell, SD, is actually a suburb of Sioux Falls, SD and is a wooded park like setting on the James River. The owners are really nice. They have some stuffed animals in their office: a wild turkey, several pheasants, and a cross between a chicken and a pheasant . He is black and white in the same pattern as a pheasant is, only in brown and white. So he is beautifully marked. He has a neck that is all black and looks like velvet . When he was in too much danger that the foxes would kill and eat him, they had their vet put him to sleep and had him stuffed. He is absolutely gorgeous.
The mosquitoes are still bad and so are the flies! We are on our way home and will drive to Omaha, Nebraska tomorrow.
