We've had a great week visiting the Sioux Falls area and did get to meet up with Ken & Sue at the zoo. We've tried to get out and walk each day. Visits this week were to the Old Courthouse, the Great Plains Zoo (as already mentioned), Good Earth State Park, and various parks along the bicycle path around Sioux Falls (Greenway Trail). We've had varying temps from comfortable to hot, light showers, and Wyoming wind. After having spent most of the summer in Voyageurs Natl Park where we had less than optimal power (5,500 watts or less), the KOA is refreshing where we can run three appliances on the same line without voltage dropping below 110 volts. Otherwise, it's a great overnight stop along I-90. (Should Jeannie & Craig read this blog, the KOA sites aren't long enough for you.)
Unlike last year when we came through, it's a dry Sioux Falls and water in the Big Sioux River is down. We have noticed people kayaking it, though. The Greenway Trail system is well used on the weekends, and the parks along the south end are busy.
Pictures below are from our visit this week. Thanks for dropping by and checking up on us, We're prepping for an upcoming cold spell and plan to move east beginning Wednesday. Until next week, David.
