Summer Adventure 2018 Day 73 & 74

Before starting the daily drive, we had breakfast at Perkins Family Restaurant in Spearfish. Our next stop was 250 miles east on I-90 at the Chamberlain, SD rest area to get some pictures of new statue, Dignity. At our fuel stop in Mitchell, we also got our dinner at Marlin's Family Restaurant. We were just a short distance from our stop for the night a Camp America in Salem, SD. We found a gem there. The owner was a lovely woman, so friendly! Her campground is clean and well-kept. The lot was level. We wish this place was somewhere in Kentucky so we could just go camping there anytime. Bill and Pam are still visiting friends near Seattle while their motorhome is being repaired.

The drive today continued east on I-90 into Minnesota to I-35 near Albert Lea, then south into Iowa. Here we are again in Iowa. We are heading home. Our stop for tonight is at Newton KOA, another good place to stay. Friendly people, clean, well cared for campground. We learned the folks who arrived just ahead of us are also going home from a two-month trip to Alaska and we are here at the perfect time. Beginning tomorrow there will be 20,000 bicyclists here for a huge bike across Iowa rally and the campground is completely booked. Bill and Pam expected their motorhome repairs would be finished today, but that didn't happen, so they went sightseeing to Whidbey Island.

During the drive I took a few pictures of the sight I saw yesterday and today.
