Thurs., June 24th: Crystal, MN to Pierre, SD
OK, I'm going to try and hit the highlights of our trip to the Black Hills with Diane and Nathan. I decided to break this up into an entry for each day because there was so much to tell! Here goes!
Below is a picture of the back of Diane's Ford Edge when we left home. Thank God for Back-Up sensors in the bumper because there was no hope of seeing out the back window the entire trip! Thankfully, the passenger area was very roomy. Even with the front seat all the way back, Dustin's long legs were far from cramped in the back seat.
Today was mostly driving as we first headed to the Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD. Having not been here before, we were surprised to see this was a multi-use facility with an auditorium/basketball court.

Off to Pierre, where we checked into the hotel and went downtown Ft. Pierre to eat at an uptown cafe. We found a park along the river to wander around and take some pictures.
The bank of the Bad River just west of where it empties into the Missouri
An interesting note: The city of Pierre is in the Central Time Zone. Fort Pierre (just across the river to the Southwest) is in Mountain Time Zone. More adventures with THAT to come the next day (stay tuned!)
