Independence, Missouri to Sioux Falls, SD
We left early in the morning and dad made a blistering pace north toward Iowa. When most of us woke, we were stopped at an exit where they had diverted traffic off of I29. The entire area was still flooded from the May floods that wiped out Joplin. Joplin was further down river, but the effects of the flood could be clearly seen here. We were forced to take a route on US Hwy 59 all the way into Minnesota to I90. It was a bumpy and difficult drive of corn, corn, and more corn. Lots of corn. Did I say corn. We ate at Pizza Hut, go figure…
Nice little town of Ida Grove, where an independently wealthy guy had built several castles in the town. Literally in the middle of nowhere, but a nice little quaint town of castles. Go figure.
We arrived quite late to Sioux Falls to hotel at nice little Days Inn. where we ate at a local Perkins which actually hit the spot. We retired pretty early because we had quite a drive across SD the next day.
