Crossing South Dakota

Greetings: Currently cruising I 90 in Eastern South Dakota. Kathy is driving and the Verizon Broadband card is lit.

The Alfetta was push=started this AM at the hotel, courtesy of a Mr. Peterson, who was working from a truck in the next building. He dropped his work belt and gave a shove. 2nd gear drop and she lit instantly!

The Feds at Mt. Rushmore got a quick $15 from us as we motored up onto the parking lot to take a few pictures as the grand presidents gazed at our Alfetta in wonder. We were out in 5 min, as we did not want to kill the motor.

50 miles east of Grand Rapids, the Badlands National Park beckoned. With Kathy at the wheel, we traversed the Scenic Bypass Loop. That allowed me to take some pics as we rolled along. We stopped twice, but once again kept the engine running.

Since then we have paused for gas and a drive thru at Arby's in Oacoma, just prior to crossing the Missouri.

I suspect we will have to kill the ignition at our next gas stop in Minnesota, as I really should check the oil and add a quart. We will keep rolling on I 90 into MN, don't know how far.
