Day 3

Greetings one and all! We woke up this morning to an absolutely sunshiny day. We started at the Dinosaur museum and enjoyed that along with a geological display.

We then headed out for the main point of this trip to the Dickinson, SD area, the Enchanted Highway, all 30 miles of it. Let me explain that it is stretching it by calling it Enchanted, however, it does have something special to offer. As you can see in the view of the picture at the left. This is just one of the huge metal sculptures along the highway. You can just pick out a fence post in the background for comparison. They are quite impressive. We viewed Geese flying, Deer jumping, Fish swimming, Theodore Roosevelt & horse and Ma & Pa with son in tow. It was well worth the drive.

We then proceeded on and discovered on the way why no one lives in North Dakota. It is miles and miles and miles of nothing. Oh, I guess I stand corrected, we did see a lot pheasant who were very uncooperative for photographing and antelope. Which reminds me we did see "Home on the Range" which encouraged me to spontaneously break into the song:) Albert was thrilled.

We finally made it to South Dakota which got a little more interesting. Oil wells were added to the view and more rocks. We also could see mountains in the distance which broke up the constant rolling hills. I do appreciate God's handy work, but after a while.........

Any way we made it to Spearfish where we park for the night. We arrived earlier than expected and will take a little extra time to rest from all the driving we have done. It will be on the road again to visit the Black Hills. Whoo Hoo!!! At last big Presidents heads. Tune in tomorrow for our unexpected finds.
