Highway Driving - I-90 East

Checked into a Chicagoland-area motel for the night.  The drive today was, for the most part, very scenic.  Most of South Dakota is very beautiful, as evidenced by these photos.  I look forward for a return trip there one of these years.

Off to bed.  Tomorrow, the rest of the drive into Sandusky, Ohio and Cedar Point park.

Wall Drug!

One of the most exciting things we saw in South Dakota was the collection of "Wall Drug" signs along I-90 west.  The first sign we noticed for The World's Largest Drug Store said, "Only 355 miles to Wall Drug!"  And, according to the signs, anyway, there is a Wall Drug sign in Kenya.  No doubt about it then-- we had to go.

My Ole South Dakota Home

We left Minneapolis this morning, and made a pit stop at the World’s Largest (by one man) Ball of Twine in Darwin, Minnesota.  I am sure that you have all viewed the video that Rich posted featuring Weird Al’s musical interpretation of the Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota.  There will be a separate post about The Ball of Twine shortly.  As for the rest of our day, we ended up taking a slightly more scenic route than we would have without the aforementioned side quest.
