5/30/2014 First Day on the Road...or On the Road Again (American Creek RV Park, Chamberlain, SD; 563 miles for the day)

Ready to hit the road...Passaic, MO

Gary really was in the lead for a while.

The view from the windshield:  the Missouri River, Chamberlain SD

We were on the road by 8:07 a.m.  There was two fuel stops, one lunch stop, and one rest area stop; other than that it was go-go-go for 563 miles.

It was literally interstate all day.  We remembered I-90 in South Dakota as a "cowboy" road...like a bucking bronco.  But the surface has been ground, and it is much better.

We have seen lots of farmland, hay and cattle.  

It is 9:06 p.m. and still not dark.  I can still see across the river.

The American Creek RV Park is a former Corps of Engineer's campground.  It is obvious from the signs.  I have no idea why it is no longer associated with the COE.  

Glen is busy studying the map, figuring how many miles we should travel tomorrow.  Usually we aren't on a schedule, but we need to be in Anchorage by June 12.
