South Dakotan Fun

Angela and I have reached South Dakota after several insufferable hours in the nothingness that is Minnesota. We stopped for the night in a sweet hotel in Mitchell, SD. It was nice to have a good night’s sleep after a long day of travel.

The plan for today is to hit Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse as well as the world famous Wall Drug. We’re both really excited because, so far, SD has just one thing in spades: bugs.

Things in Minnesota

Compared to Wisconsin, Minnesota has absolutely nothing. In our journey this far, we have seen the following items:

  • Farms
  • Mennonites
  • A closed Starbucks
  • Inexplicable roadblocks
  • Really creepy windmills

Really interesting, huh?

Riding a Duck

Angela and I just stopped at Wisconsin Dells and took a short break. We had to get gas, but decided to make the most of our time in the area.

As such, we picked the Original Duck Tour to provide a diversion from the wearies of travel. If you’ve never been to the Dells or experienced the thrill of a duck ride, I highly recommend stopping in.

Highway CS

In Wisconsin, the highways are distinguished by letters instead of numbers. On our drive, Angela and I spotted one that I thought was particularly meaningful to me. Check out the picture.

Cross Country Journey

This morning my fiancĂ©e and I set off on our cross country journey. We’re moving from St. Charles, IL to Seattle, WA.

The trip is 2100 miles with a stop at Mount Rushmore. I’ve decided to blog our journey from my iPhone. So, if you’re interested, stay tuned over the next 4 days. Oh, and wish Angela and I luck.
