Day 3 - Kennebec, SD

It is day 3 of our little trek. So far, there really isn’t much to see. We start off heading up interstate 29 towards Sioux City and Sioux Falls. Kind of interesting that there are two big cities whose first name is Sioux, but they are in different states. Plus, they are not really big cities. Not like Dallas or Memphis. There is a lot of construction on the highways today. It kind of looks like every bridge on the interstate has one lane closed.

We had heard that there is a lot of flooding in Iowa. We have seen some water in fields. But, we only saw one sign that a road was closed. They didn’t really need to put a sign up though. You could see that the ramp from the interstate down to the highway – and the highway – were all flooded. It looked more like a swimming pool than it did a highway intersection.

Plus, we are starting to see more wild animals killed on the side on the interstate, particularly in the areas where the fields are somewhat flooded.

Once we made the left turn to get off highway 29 and onto highway 90, when you look out the front of the RV, it looks like a big ribbon laid down on the land. I wouldn’t say that it is totally flat, because there are some hills and valleys. But, they are not really big hills. There are a lot of cows and a lot of grass and a lot of bales of high stacked up in fields. If you look off in the distance, you can see towns. Then about 10 minutes later, you actually get to the town.

Plus, since we got into Iowa, we are seeing signs for something called Wall Drug. Jimmy says that we will get there on day 4. He says that the articles on the internet about Wall Drug say that it is a little tacky, but you have to see it.

We stop for the night at a KOA RV park in Kennebec, SD. Not much going on here either. I guess I’ll just close for now by saying that we covered a lot of miles, but we didn’t see much. No pictures on this day either. Just two sleepy cats and humans.
