      The Mammoth Site, Hot Springs, SD

      18. maj 2024, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

      The Mammoth Site is an archeological site filled with the bones/skeltons of many mammoths. 140,000 years ago it was a sink hole filled with water and surrounded by grass. Mammoth and other animals would go to get a drink of water and then slide into the sink hole, unable to get out. Eventually the hole filled with sediment, covering the hole.
      In 1974 the area was being cleared to start a development. A mammoth tusk was scraped. The developer realized they had found something special and stopped the work. Archeologists eventually realized that area was filled with the remains of of many animals, primarily mammoth.
      The building we toured is built around the dig. We learned a lot about mammoths.      Læs mere

      Wall Drug

      17. maj 2024, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

      Wall Drug is a shopping experience like no other. It started as a drug store in 1931 and grew into the emporium it is today. We got there at about 6 in the evening and only had half an hour until things started closing for the evening. It definitely was not enough time to show Brenda, Bryce and Maryann the the uniqueness of this shopping experience.
      Just a final note. We travelled the I-90 from Sioux Falls across most of South Dakota to get there and saw over 100 billboards advertising it.      Læs mere

      Dignity of Earth and Sky

      17. maj 2024, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

      So I was standing by my phone and I said South Dakota. A post on Facebook came up with a picture of this statue. I looked up the location and found that it is located at a rest stop on the I-90. Since that is the highway between Sioux Falls it became a must see. We stopped to see the 50 foot statue and it was spectacular.

      Here is some info from the Travel South Dakota website.

      She wears a garment patterned after a traditional two-hide dress of the 1850s. One of the statue’s most striking features is her outstretched star quilt — a symbol of respect, honor and admiration in Native American culture. The quilt’s 128 stainless steel diamonds feature color-changing pieces that glitter in the sun and move with the wind, creating a rippling effect. At night, LED lights cause the diamonds to illuminate the dark sky, casting a peaceful glow that’s easily visible from the interstate.

      She casts a peaceful gaze across the waters of the Missouri River. During the day, the South Dakota wind brushes the diamonds in her star quilt, causing blue shades to twinkle in the sunlight. At night, she stands illuminated and strong. She is Dignity.      Læs mere

      Look's Marketplace

      17. maj 2024, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

      This is the place that started the planning for this trip. Sometime during the winter I was watching Diners Drive-ins and Dives. They were doing a bit about this place in Sioux Falls South Dakota. That show doesn't usually go to many if any places that are driving distance from us. I saw this place and wanted to go, so a trip was planned and here we are. It's a pretty big place. They smoke their own meat and make a variety of sausages.
      As you go through the doors you walk into a marketplace selling deli meat, fresh fish, some hard to find groceries, some fancy cheeses and a little bit of fresh fruit and veggies. And a bit of merch. You walk through all that to a rather large restaurant. It gave me Fuddrukkers vibes with the way it worked. We got there at lunch time and ordered some food and took in the atmosphere. I forgot to mention they have their own bakery and make sour dough bread and pizza crusts. We got our fill of yummy sandwiches and left to travel on to Rapid City.      Læs mere

      Sioux Falls Park

      17. maj 2024, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

      These falls are the namesake for Sioux Falls. It's a beautiful park with very pretty falls. The ruins around the falls are an old flour mill. Walking around the park was a nice way to start our day of sight seeing.Læs mere

      Urban Chislic, Sioux Falls

      16. maj 2024, Forenede Stater ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

      Today the DDD choice was the Urban Chislic. Chislic is deep fried cubed meat. The origins go back to the 1870's where meat was fried and served with saltine crackers. Ger ordered a dish based on the original.
      The overall group consensus is that this was simply bar food served in a loud sports bar. It was good but nothing really spectacular. It's late and maybe we're are a bit tired. It's been a busy day.      Læs mere

      Minnesota's Largest Candy Store

      16. maj 2024, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

      For our trip from Minneapolis to Sioux Falls we decided to not take the interstate highway. Shortly out of Minneapolis we saw signs for Minnesota's Largest candy store and decided to stop when we saw it. The place is huge and full of pretty much any kind of candy you can think of, with some salty snacks added in for good measure. Then there is the all the decor. My pictures do not show the size of this place accurately. All I could say as I walked through is "This is place is insane." Here are quotes from everyone else about their thoughts on this insanely big candy store.
      Bryce - Overwhelming and not for the faint of heart. So much to eat, so little time. Took my breath away. A dentist's nightmare.
      Brenda - Sinfully delicious
      Maryanne - Unbelievable
      Gerardo - Esthetically pleasing and diabetically dangerous      Læs mere

      Minneapolis Sculpture Garden

      16. maj 2024, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C

      The Sculpture Garden was our first sight seeing stopof the day. We went there when the kids were small and I loved the place. There were lots of huge sculptures in a nicely manicured park/garden. It's pretty much the same layout. Some of the sculptures have been moved around and some new ones added. There really are no more gardens as they have changed the grounds to native plants. We all enjoyed the stroll through the park and trying to figure out the meaning behind the art. It was a great way to start the day.Læs mere

      Kim's

      15. maj 2024, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

      Today's DDD stop was a Korean restaurant called Kim's. Technically it is not a Diners Drive-ins and Dives place. The owner Ann Kim has a pizza place, Lola's, that we have been to a couples of times. That restaurant serves wood fired pizza that is super yummy. Lola's has been on DDD.
      Jer discovered that she has four restaurants in Minneapolis, one being Kim's, a restaurant that serves food reflecting her Korean heritage.
      Since we are on a DDD tour we didn't get cleaned up before we went because you know it's just a diner. This is definitely not a diner but a trendy restaurant, so we were a little under dressed. It was super busy, which is always a good sign. After a small wait we got a table and proceeded to figure out what all the words on the menu meant.
      Alcoholic drinks at our table were a beer and a green drink named Smoky and Mommy. That drink was a mix of mezcal, melon liquor, grapefruit and lime. And there were two zero proof drinks. I always appreciate a restaurant that serves a good nonalcohol cocktail. For that we had a Poppin' Pear, made with fermented pears, and a Feel No Pain, a very fruity drink served in a very cool pineapple glass.
      Then were the starters, Korean Fried Chicken Wings, which were nice and spicy and very crispy, and a Shrimp and Vegetable Pancake. All were tasty and there were no scraps. Then came the mains, Stone Bowl Bibimbap and Hwe Dup Bap Cured Salmon Rice Bowl. The Bibimbap was delicious. A super hot stone bowl that crisped up the bottom of the rice topped with veggies and beef bulgogi. The Salmon Rice Bowl was like deconstructed sushi. It was very fresh and it too was delicious. There was so much food that we will be having reheated Bibimbap for breakfast.
      An interesting fact is that this restaurant charges a 21% surcharge to your bill. This is to replace a tip. The servers are supposed to be receiving a liveable wage. This surcharge is to pay for their wage. However, the money doesn't go directly to the staff. It just goes towards the operating costs of the business. My question is why don't they just charge 21% more for each item and then tell people not to leave a tip? Something is just not sitting right with me about this. Our server was super awesome so we left a tip anyways.      Læs mere
