Day 40

Date: Friday August 14, 2015

Location at the beginning of the day: Rock Cut State Park

Distance to drive: 525 miles (plus an additional almost 100 miles to make the next day’s drive shorter)

Hours to drive: 7.5 hours (plus 1.5)

Destination: a rest area on Interstate 90 just inside the South Dakota border close to Sioux Falls (We ended up at a rest area just before Chamberlaine)

Planned activities: drive

Today we drove through Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and South Dakota.  We spent most of the day in Minnesota, the land of never ending cornfields and roadwork. 

Today I am thankful for flushing toilets, clean bathrooms and a little one whose tummy is feeling a bit better.

After stopping for dinner we decided that we would drive a bit further, so that the next day we would arrive at the campground earlier.
