To: Sioux Falls, SD
Time: 7 hours
Distance: 390 miles
Today started out with a trip to Rapid City, SD for a NEW audiobook! They make the time fly by in the car. We found a great one - "Johnathon Strange & Mr. Norrell" by Susanna Clarke. The voice actor is great and the writing is very polished and fun - it's a gem so far. Plus, it's 30 hours long so it should last us through the rest of the road trip!! A wise investment, eh?
From there we headed out to the Badlands Scenic Route, where we paid $15 to become more sunburned and view landscape that compels one to study geology. It was nice to see it in May, while there was green grass surrounding the rocky formations and animals prancing around. Another opportunity to perfect the art of taking photos from the car. We also decided to break out the tripod, despite the intense winds, using it only on the shortest height since it tipped over any other way!
After the Badlands we went to the Corn Palace, so Nick could partake in the wonder that is a mural made from twelve different types of corn, and our final destination was Sioux Falls, SD - the biggest city in South Dakota! Needless to say, the biggest city in South Dakota has both cell service and internet access. It's not beautiful, but hey, it's convenient.
