So spent the night in Pierre SD.
Since it was early, near sunrise we saw this glowing sky as we left. Notice the white layer in the sky closest to the ground? I couldn't tell if it was fog burning off or smoke from wildfires.
Driving further along and it became clear that the glow and haze was caused by wildfires in the area.
Gee, I thought I was in the South driving out here. lol
Passing an old storefront of some kind out on the Plains north of Miller SD./
A lone tree out in a field.
Yet another field of Sunflowers......
Saw this water tower soon after..........
They had a local message board in the store and we could have bought a purebred puppy by calling a number posted but we didn't.
I did see these interesting bandana/scarves that said, "Big Cock Country" on them.....I think the local high school sports teams are the fighting cocks. At least I hope so! lolz
Passed by a field of identical red, rag top old American cars. Sort of like the "Cadillac Range" down in Amarillo Texas, it looked like a public art installation........
Not long after passing that we saw the "Clark Ringtail Lodging" facility. I guess folks out here go on Pheasant hunts as a regular thing and hunters stay in group lodgings like this one.
We passed by a medium sized lake.....
The "big" intersection of Rte. 20 and 212 in Watertown SD. Silos for days.........
But "Mommy's Time Out" wine made me chuckle. Notice it's sitting next to a selection called, "Mad Housewife" too. I like a good funny name on an alcoholic beverage. 8-)
And it was no surprise this liquor store had wines labeled Wild Bill and Calamity Jane either.
Along with Mt. Rushmore, South Dakota Rooster Rush and Sturgis branded wines.
Back in the car and 2 hours until our destination for the evening in North Dakota.
More signs about closed interstates in case we forgot about the horrid Winter storms in this part of the country.
And we finally hit North Dakota mid afternoon.
More later on our adventures in ND.

Lol in the country music stations making you think you were in the South! Yup! I cannot get over the lack of trees but everything, well I guess it is the grass and the prairie… duh on me…. lol, is pretty and green and the lake looks lovely. Cindy in the South
ReplyDeleteThe one lone tree made me sad. I wonder what a sunflower receiving station is exactly. I suppose we get sunflower seeds from this area. I never see liquor names except on your blog, and I am amused. I should cruise the liquor aisles in Publix, but I am afraid I would cause damage with the electric cart. This portion of the trip had few meal photos, and I wonder why.
