South Dakota

From Austin, WI, we drove to Rapid City, SD. We made our last stop at Aldi’s – a favorite grocery store. We even found frozen Gino’s pizza at Aldi’s! And, or course, our delicious German chocolate at a great price.

We crossed the mighty Mississippi River into MN. Then not too much later, the Missouri River. Once in SD, very strong winds buffeted us, pushing us around like we were lightweight. A violent rain storm slowed us down, but also cleaned the bug smeared windshield. Heavy smoke from Canadian fires covered the area for many miles as far as one could see.

Now we are situated in a nice R.V. park in Rapid City for the next 4 nights. The kids and grandkids made a brief stop over to give us good night hugs!
