SIOUX FALLS, SOUTH DAKOTA

 

We spent two nights at the KOA Campground north of I-90 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.  Our first afternoon after arrival was spent catching up on computer work.  Paul did some preliminary exploring in town with a drive to Falls Park and a four mile run along a river trail into the down town area. 
In a tree next to our campsite, the four year old spotted a bird nest, and we captured the mooning occupants.

 Some rocks from the quartzite granite were picked up along the river for a stepping stone when we return home. The rocks were just "ho-hum" rocks and didn't spark a collecting frenzy.

 In the afternoon, Paul drove back to the park and enjoyed a 25 mile bicycle trek on a bicycle trail that was built along the Big Sioux River. wpe801.jpg (7091 bytes) wpe81E.jpg (4694 bytes)
wpe88D.jpg (5768 bytes) wpe805.jpg (3728 bytes) The scenery was great, and the trail wound through thick trees.  The temperature was in the low 60's... unlike at home where we sweltered before we left.
