We are here for 2 nights then on eastward. The roads out of eastern South Dakota and most of Minnesota (so far) are a bit rough (bumpy, holely, etc.) Sometimes they pavement is a red/pink color both in South Dakota and Minnesota. Not all of Interstate 90 (nor both directions at the same time) - weird but true. All that federal money spent on the roads in Montana could have been useful here in Minnesota, too.
Another thing we keep forgetting to share is that South Dakota is mostly ranches / range areas in the Western side and farms on the eastern side. I know you all were waiting with baited breath for that tidbit of knowledge. You just never know when a Trivia or Jeopardy question needs this very bit of fact!
We are very glad that Minnesota state government is back in business because the rest stops would have been closed. We have never met a Rest Stop we didn’t like!!!
