We left Wall SD early as it was a long ride to Sioux Falls and we had a sick puppy that was going to need a few stops along the way. Our first stop was just a short turnout with nothing but blacktop and weeds. It was about 50′ off the freeway and wide enough to have around 3 vehicles abreast stopped there.
The second stop was at the Missouri River crossing rest stop. Pretty nice spot with a nice view. It appears to be where Lewis and Clark crossed it as there was a blurb about that and a very large statue of Sacajawea.
I didn’t realize that river was so large. The Colorado river is puny compared to it.
Sioux Falls was a nice little city. Lots of train tracks running every which way and a nice historic district of older homes on streets with trees forming a canopy. We mainly stayed there to get the furkids groomed but Baxter decided to get something call C.Diff that prevented him from a haircut. Dusty is all trimmed up and looking good. Baxter looks like a ball of hair at the moment. After getting Baxter to the Vet and Dusty to the groomer we gave them a day to recover and then headed out to find Sioux Falls namesake… namely the falls. Turns out they are in the middle of downtown. And fairly impressive for a downtown park with waterfalls it was. Check out these pictures. Hard to imagine these are in the middle of a downtown city of about 150k.
