Left Ken and Melanie's early this morning and wended our way south and west. Beautiful (I think I'm overusing that word) drive through the lake country and farmland. We stopped at Valley Queen Cheese Factory (again) to pick up some cheese. Then we drove across South Dakota on US highways - trying to stay off the Interstates and we have been pretty successful at that. Drove through Pierre and across the Missouri River. Some road construction - looks like they are trying to make a four-lane highway out of US 83.
One difficult spot we found on US 83 was a flooded roadway - drove slowly across about six inches of water on the main road. We were surprised that they hadn't closed the highway and detoured people around. Maybe they are waiting until the water rises so that it is impassable. At least people waited until we were across (we were using the center of the road because it had a little crown).
Arrived in North Platte where we're spending the night before heading over to Paul and Sandy's on Wednesday.
