South Dakota

We traveled north through Kansas, Nebraska and then South Dakota.  We crossed the Missouri River and had to get a picture of the bridge over the river at Chamberlain.  Someday we would like to walleye fish here -- and we would be able to buy resident fishing licenses.  We are always buying nonresident license and they can be outrageously expensive.  We are happy that Minnesota non resident license are a pretty good deal.

 After spending a few days waiting for the wind and rain to let up in Sioux Falls, SD we got as far as Faribault, MN and camped there praying no tornados hit.  The second morning it tried to snow on us.  We had to take a little trip to Cabelas in Owatonna while we were in the neighborhood.  We got to see Babe Winkelman and Gary Roach, well known walleye fishermen, while we were there.  It got us really excited to get up north and hit the water. 

We will be heading up to our job on Sunday the 29th.  We are praying the weather is going to improve -- as in warm up- so that we can get out on the water without freezing to death.
