Mitchell to Wall, SD

May 31, 2019

On the road again today. Driving down an interstate can be somewhat boring, especially when you are looking at the same view all day, a ribbon of highway in front of us and green grass, and cows to the sides. We did see a few antelope towards the end of the day. Also saw a couple of dump trucks with multiple axles.
Views of the road ahead and the scenery to either side of the road.
You count them, based on what I can see in the back, it doesn't look like they are dulies. There are two dumpsters here and the back one looks longer than the front one. I think there are 10 axles on the back.












At about mile marker 265 on 90 there is a rest area that is also a Lewis & Clark Interpretation Center. We stopped there to see the Dignity of the Earth and Sky statue that is an amazing piece of art work.

To put it in perspective, that's me standing in front of Dignity.

This is the back end of the Visitor's Center/Interpretation. This is the back end of a 'Keel Boat' of the type used on the expedition. The front end is in the building, and you can walk through a door to the outside part.
