Day 11 Tuesday Oct 9




Picked up Mark's mom at his sister's early a.m. and dropped her off at her place in Mankato. Then we headed back West, retracing some of our steps through South Dakota.


In Mitchell, SD, we stopped at a great store, part of a Midwestern chain -- Cabella's. It's a huge hunting and fishing gear store. Pretty much anything you'd need for either activity. Mark found some over-the-top gloves that should keep even him warm. I tried on camouflage wear and contemplated the Elmer Fudd look for fall.

We're spending the night in Chamberlain, SD, on the banks of the Missouri River. We're in a resort-style hotel out from town a little bit. It's a self-contained facility. We can imagine being snowed in here during the winter.



We have someone else traveling with us. Diane introduced us to Durwood, who will be joining his fellow sock monkeys in San Francisco. Durwood is a bit of a party animal -- thus the lampshade hat and martini glass permanently in his grip. He's good company though.
