It started innocently in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. We headed west, and stopped to see the Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD:

Then, about 10 miles outside of Chamberlain, SD there were these guys sandblasting the closed lane of an overpass in a work zone.. Why they were sandblasting, I don't know.. but I spent the next 2 hours or so hanging out there dealing with this:

How fun.

At least I got to see one of the 'real' General Lees at a museum in Murdo, SD:

..and I got to meet some nice new faces.. or maybe they're old faces..

and then we drove through the Badlands..

..and stopped by Wall Drug in Wall, SD:

So now my window looks like this..

..and I get to spend several hours tomorrow getting the window replaced in Rapid City, SD instead of spending it at Mt. Rushmore. Oh well. Nobody got hurt.

More tomorrow.. maybe.
