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.\u00a0\u00a0 Our first stop was just a short turnout with nothing but blacktop and weeds. \u00a0 It was about 50′ off the freeway and wide enough to have around 3 vehicles abreast stopped there.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The second stop was at the Missouri River crossing rest stop.\u00a0 Pretty nice spot with a nice view.\u00a0 It appears to be where Lewis and Clark crossed it as there was a blurb about that and a very large statue of Sacajawea.<\/p>\n

I didn’t realize that river was so large.\u00a0 The Colorado river is puny compared to it.<\/p>\n

Sioux Falls was a nice little city. \u00a0Lots of train tracks running every which way and a nice historic district of older homes on streets with trees forming a canopy. \u00a0 \u00a0We mainly stayed there to get the furkids groomed but Baxter decided to get something call C.Diff that prevented him from a haircut. \u00a0 Dusty is all trimmed up and looking good. \u00a0Baxter looks like a ball of hair at the moment. \u00a0 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. \u00a0Turns out they are in the middle of downtown. \u00a0And fairly impressive for a downtown park with waterfalls it was. \u00a0 Check out these pictures. \u00a0 Hard to imagine these are in the middle of a downtown city of about 150k.<\/p>\n
