South Dakota is insanely hot. I think its flip flop season now, time to ditch the wallabees and socks! I'm writing this blog from Rapid City, South Dakota at the KOA, outside at our campsite, on a picnic table, with an Arnold Palmer. Why are these drinks not everywhere in Canada? So amazing!
What beats a cold drink on a hot day?!
The drives we did both today and yesterday have been beautiful. Yesterday we crossed along the I-90 briefly then decided to take a more interesting route up to Pierre. For anyone watching our map you might be aware of our random route-navigating.. Definitely been interesting and far from boring! The route to Pierre was vast and barren. The type of drive you would hate to get a flat tire on. Ranches stretched far and the landscape was savannah-like, a lot different from the ONT! After spotting hundreds of cows along the way, we stopped and got some great beef and had homemade burgers. Sorry to any vegetarians reading this! Haha but we are in cattle country. We ended the day at a state park, filled with tones of RVers. It's amazing to see some people's setup. One man we saw was building a deck around his RV, I think he's an experienced RVer. Anyhow we got our bicycles out and rode around the state park for a bit. It was so nice to use our legs and I'm loving the new bike!
The drive through the Badlands today were bad..ass! So large and hard to comprehend. It looked like a back-drop you'd see at a ride at Disney world. I guess that's where they get their inspiration from..!
My Palmer is almost gone and I think I might have gotten my first sunburn of the season. That's a sign for me to end this blog!
It's been a great trip so far and we're looking forward to Mt. Rushmore tomorrow.
Happy mothers day to my mom and to Judy! Hope it was wonderful!
