The drive from Bloomington, Minnesota to Kadoka, South Dakota took me southwest along U. S. Highway 169 until I linked up with Interstate 90 westbound. I stopped for mug of dark roast at River Rock Coffee in Saint Peter, where Cassandra attended school at Gustavus Adolphus College. While doing so I passed Treat Site History Center that Cassie and I promised ourselves we'd visit some day while she was attending school. We have yet to do so... But for the marketing efforts of Wall Drug and various other tourist traps along the way there would be precious little to look at other than 380 miles of rolling prairie. The picture above is of a rise covered with a variety of iron sculptures. Uh...thanks. I called it day when I reached Kodoka. We stayed there in July of 1999 while I rode with my brother Steve for two days of his American Lung Association Big Ride from Seattle, Washington to Washington, DC. It has not changed much. By the way, if the picture on the Kadoka website reminds you of scenes from Paul Verhoeven's 1997 classic Starship Troopers, that's because the movie was filmed in the area.
Good to hear you had a safe journey.
