Today we passed through lots of farmland including 2 very large "windmill" farms in Iowa - west of Des Moins. After having lunch in the Walmart parking lot - this is great being able to make lunch yourself - we did a bit of shopping at the Walmart.
About an hour from Mitchell, South Dakota where we were going to stop for the night we saw several hugh signs along the road - Cowboy Town! - Live Buffalo Heard ! so we decided to pull off and see what it was about. It was a replica of a cowboy town complete with a saloon. Each building had animated characters that told of the history of the 1800's. It was pretty cool. Check out the photos!
One of the signs also said that we could park overnight but we decided to continue to Mitchell so that we would be an hour closer to Mount Rushmore tomorrow.
As we pulled into our camping site Jack got really excited - parked at the lot beside us is the truck that he wants. It is even white like he wants. I won't hear the end of it now J
He went and met them - Jeff and Janice, and her dad Bill. Jeff retired a year ago and they have been travelling around USA for the past year. They are currently on their way back from Florida.
