The First Day

We left at about 8:15. Beside gas stops, we ate supper in the parking lot at Wall Drug in South Dakota. Checked out some of the photos on display from the late 1800s including pictures of Custer and his troops. Lots of photos of the Native Americans and their culture. Continue on to Gillette WY, just over 700 miles. We slept in the parking lot of a Flying J truck stop. We are eating cereal now and will be on the interstate in a few minutes. Nothing to photograph of significance so far. Western Minnesota and all of South Dakota was mostly flat farm land or prairie. One interesting sight was near Austin MN. There were about 200 wind turbines all producing clean electricity. There were a few others along the way but this was a high concentration. It was interesting to see that many.
