RV-Junke's: 2011 North West Adventure, Day 26

Day 26 July 28th 2011:

Once again we are not very far – just 250 miles – from where we were last night…It was a day of sightseeing and just chillaxin in South Dakota, which is still one of my favorite states!

We started the morning by a drive through the city of Rapid City to find a Game Spot! Nicholas and Michael needed to get a new PS3 game…NO COMMENT!

After that we went to the Bear Country Drive in zoo, a place I have wanted to come back to since 2009 when we were last in this region. We drove through the zoo and were able to see some animals we did not see in the wild, and actually some we did…after the drive you get to walk fairly close to the section they are raising the cubs…OMG, it was by far the CUTEST thing we have ever seen…a pen filled with baby bears, playing. We stayed there a lot longer than we had thought because it was fun and they were comical to watch…after the zoo we went…ok are you sitting down…TO RACE GO-KARTS again!!!!! This time it was in an in-door place, which was so different. The things you can do out here are things I wish we could do back East, but the insurance waivers, and lawsuit happy state we live won’t allow it…Oh well.

Once complete with a few laps and playing on a giant slot race car set – which was unbelievable, we drove to Wall Drug Store, a place you HAVE to visit if you ever go through South Dakota…a total tourist trap, but a fun one! This is the 2nd time we have been here, and it was even better this time! A must place to re-visit for sure….Once on the road, I had dreams of getting to Sioux City, another 280 miles…well 70 miles later, and I was cooked…so we found a campground, which happens to be truly one of the nicest KOA’s, not Glacier nice, regular KOA nice…It even had a restaurant, which we all sat down and gave Patty a break…what a fantastic surprise all around! Great food, great hosts, beautiful sunset, and a blessed family and day!

Tomorrow once again is an un-known…we are heading to the Wisconsin Dells –we are almost there Deb, we may be in that area tomorrow, but we will be there God Willing for sure by Saturday…So until we land somewhere tomorrow, hope you have a very Blessed Day!
