Mobridge




Wet weather had left a number of roads closed in eastern South Dakota and we had to improvise our route westward, but eventually made it to Mobridge for dinner overlooking Lake Oahe (a reservoir on the Missouri). Western SD is fairly sparse and we decided to push through to the Black Hills that evening, which meant for a long drive, but one of those evening drives I truly enjoy. I think we got to Spearfish around 11 -- we may have gotten the last room in town not occupied by someone with a Corvette. At least we didn't show up three weeks later, when everything with 50 miles of Sturgis is nothing but motorcycles.
