South Dakota Trip Day 3

Diamond Jo water wheel.

Ate breakfast at Burger King in the casino and played a few slots before we started out for the day. Went about an hour feom the Northwood-Lake Mills area and the beautiful hills turned into level straight roads. The corn, soy beans and other grain fields dominated the view. Lot of grey, older barns, some still standing tall and others ready to collapse. This continued into South Dakota. In its own way it is quite scenic also. It is a serene and peaceful feeling as you drive thru the area. Bypassed Sioux Falls and continued on our way to Salem. Got lost of course because of a bridge out. Although there was a lot of water and flooding from rains the previous week, the bridge was just being repaired as a precaution from many years use. After a few cell phone calls and redoing Cheetah Safari (Our GPS) we arrived at the ranch. A porch overhaul-making a sunroom out of half of the 1st floor open porch. We set up the T@B then left for De Smet to meet our son who was at work at the Dairy Queen/Subway. We enjoyed our supper there met his staff and his assistant manager and her hubby stopped in to meet us. It was good to see his work and meet the people he works with. It was getting dark so we left for the ranch again. It got dark and we needed the cell phone once again. Had to stop for gas so we could clean the windshield. Heavy on the bugs that evening. Will post day 4 soon.
