Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and now...

SOUTH DAKOTA

Yes kids we are already in South Dakota...mitchell to be exact, home to the corn palace.

As our title explains we have already been through 4 states. We have waited in the great Chicago traffic, munched on some lovely squeaky cheese (cheese curds), and ...well we didn't do much in Minnesota. Now we are in South Dakota and loving it. Here are some pictures of our travels.

Welcome to minnesota















Had a little trouble coming into Minnesota, this is a picture of our fuel filter. We thought we had run out of gas, but really, so much crud and rust was caught in the screen of our filter that gas would no longer get through. Yeah, you used to be able to see through it. We had to stop in a small town and luckily a car lot / mechanic / town mayer (jk) had an extra one we could buy. I replaced it and we went on our way.

Tomorrow we plan on seeing the corn palace, a ghost town, and the badlands. We are all very excited. Thanks again everyone for your support and prayers. We are very blessed to have such great friends and family.
