Day 48: South Dakota to Minnesota

 Saturday, June 29

With much reluctance, we left our lovely boondocking site on Nomad View in the Buffalo Gap National Grasslands and drove into the nearby kitschy town of Wall SD, home of the original Wall Drug store and now a tourist mecca off I-90. Here you can always get a free cup of ice water if a five-cent cup of coffee and see Western art for free and explore the bizarre city block.





Then we headed east across I-90 to Chamberlain SD and the impressive 2016 Dignity of Earth and Sky statue and the Lewis and Clark rest area. 






We continued our eastward journey to Sioux Falls SD and parked at Falls Park to see the falls from the free observation tower and by climbing on the rocks at the side of the river. 



Finally, we headed east again on I-90 another couple hundred miles into Minnesota. We treated Vanna to a well-needed shower (she needed it even more than we do) and got most of the mud and dead bugs off of her. Then we settled into our Walmartdocking spot at the Walmart Supercenter in Austin MN for the night.
