Mitchell, SD

Traveled over 400 miles today.  The scenery all along the way was cornfield after cornfield.  Most of the trip was like in a valley with mountain ridges off in the distance.  Lots of breeze.  Alan Jackson's tour bus passed us...wonder where he was going.  Stopped at the South Dakota welcome center and got lots of booklets for the black hills and mount rushmore and other sites around Rapid City.  For anyone preparing to go on a trip, the book "Next Exit" is a must !!!  A wealth of information as to what is at each exit on the interstates.   Until then.....  P.S.  no phone service here.
