Overnight on the Missouri River

Still struggling with where we want go and when...as most people know, I struggle with selecting an item off a menu. I want them all! So after dithering about we decided to keep moving west so that were can get to Yellowstone before it is too cold.

Grabbed some sandwiches and the way out of town and got back on I-90. Since it was a later afternoon start to our drive we only got a couple of hours down the road. We were looking for free night to stay so it look liked (from notes on travel apps) that travelers were using the SD Welcome Center and rest stop. Glad we pulled in here, it had a nice visitor center and great overlook of the Missouri. We only got about 15 minutes in building but doesn't some time enjoying the view. Staff told us that there was only a 3 hour maximum, so we looked online for other alternatives. Found a dispersed camping option on the other side of the river. Easy to get to, (only a short distance of dirt roads), hardly anyone was around and we got a spot on the rivers edge.

It was so peaceful, quiet and Charlie got some water time!Read more
