Just a quick stop at Applebee's for a coffee and some wi-fi in Brookings SD. Seventy kilometers more and we'll be in DeSmet. This is where the Ingalls family stopped wandering...at Ma's request because she wanted her daughters to go to school regularly. We'll camp there for a couple of nights and take in the Laura Lore there.
The drive from Pepin WI yesterday was beautiful. We got off the Interstate and followed 14 West through Minnesota and now into South Dakota. I know why they call this the Corn Belt! It was pleasant to see the land turn from rolling hills and lakes to flatter and flatter praries. I love it! Just as Laura described...the sky is a huge inverted bowl full of stars.
Ted is itching to get on the road and get settled for the night. Don't know if we'll have internet but will write when I can.
Love,
Mom/Peggy
