After leaving Wadena, MN we got back on highway 210 and followed it the rest of the way across western Minnesota and into South Dakota where it dumped into interstate 29. We stayed at a nice little campground in a cute little town called Summit. We got stuck there an extra day because of high winds. We made the best of it by taking the day and driving down to Watertown to the Redlin Art Museum. The building and the grounds are impressive for being in a small town in South Dakota. Redlin's paintings are known for showing cabin life and old homesteads with an interesting use of light. Kind of like Thomas Kincade paintings use light. The museum has three floors filled with paintings and two gift stores. He passed away in 2016 after a battle with Alzhiemers. They were displaying the last painting he was working on which he left not quite finished. The museum is free and is well worth a stop if you are on I-29.
We spent a few days in Mitchell, SD so I could get my routine medical care done. The clinic is right next to Cabela's so that was convenient for both of us. We found a tiny little hole in the wall place to have a bite to eat. It was scary looking on the outside but it had gotten good reviews so we thought we would chance it. It was clean and brightly painted on the inside and the burgers, fries, malts and onion rings were great. Its nice to find a place that serves good food at a good price and is just a nice little family business.
We are now in the Black Hills getting ready to leave and head to Wyoming and then down to Colorado.
