Sioux Falls

We are in Sioux Falls, South Dakota!

We left Kansas City, Missouri, Wednesday after getting the motorhome back. It actually was about 4:30 when we left, but the motorhome cab air conditioning was still not working. Since we had stayed there an extra day and waited until late to get it back, it was a real disappointment that it wasn't working. But the fuel pump was fixed, so we took off. Planned to get somewhere down the road, but I was thoroughly pumped. Terry was too stressed to drive, so I got behind the wheel and didn't crawl out from under it until midnight in Sioux Falls. We are in Tower Campground, having called ahead to get a good spot.


It is quite comfortable in our campsite, dogs are happy, and we are enjoying the town. Actually, yesterday we became South Dakota residents. Yayaya! Another step toward full-timing completed. We got the tags for our vehicles and got our full-timer's insurance. Everything seems to be falling into place.

This really is a nice town and we decided to stay today and do some sightseeing. We went down to the Falls Park (Sioux Falls is actually named after the Falls on the Big Sioux River) and watched a laser and light show last night which told a history of the city and area surrounding it. Quite interesting and entertaining as well.

So, all is well and we are enjoying our trip, finally. . .

Dogs are doing fine. Neal had a seizure Monday night, but just one and we got it stopped with ice and some Bach's Rescue Remedy. He seemed to have less trouble coming out of this one. We did visit a dog park last night to see if we want to take them there, but it wasn't too regulated. There were a lot of big dogs, and that would cause problems for Bailey. You know, Bailey is a Scottie who thinks he is a Rottweiler. Hah.

Did forget to mention that in Kansas City, while trying to find something "cool" to do with the dogs in tow, we found the Hunt Subtropolis. It is underground storage which uses the still operating limestone mine. They have paved and built basically an underground business complex in the mine. It was so fascinating. It was cool and well lit. Semi-truck/trailers were running in and out delivering their loads and there are trains which go in/out as well. They give you a map because you can get lost, but we didn't have any trouble. People work down in the businesses and there are many parking lots. You can see business fronts, but we didn't get to go in. We did go to the visitor's center "down under."


Take care. . . till next time.
