Sept. 23rd
We got a later start this morning than we planned – plus we got lost a few times trying to find access to interstate 90 without having to go through a major construction zone on Wisconsin/Minnesota border.
Tom is driving so I will take this opportunity to work on blog.
All in all, the scenery in Wisconsin on the Mississippi going out of town was awesome. Minnesota has plenty of farmland but not as scenic. There are however many, many turbine “farms” scattered all along I-90.
The weather has been good up until midafternoon and we had rain but now cleared up a 4:00. We are trying to make it to Salem SD for the night another 151 miles – a little farther than we like to travel in a day but we are trying to make up some lost time.
It is 7:30 pm and we made it safely to our destination in Salem, S.D., approx. 40 miles from Sioux Falls. Nice spacious campground and it has WiFi! Tomorrow we head for Sioux Falls to obtain our driver’s licenses, making us official SD residents.
We have traveled 6 states, starting out in Michigan 9/18, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota 9/23 – covering a little over 1000 miles.
