Pierre,SD

We are in Pierre, SD, one more night. We've been here since our Thursday drive across western Minnesota where we almost could sail across - so much standing water. But it is lovely and green here. 

We attended the wonderful reunion of Gary's cousins on the Kennedy/Paine side of his family. More than 50 people were there. Really fun. 

A grat pontoon boat ride on the Missouri yesterday below the Oahe Dam. We are ataying in the Oahe Downstream Campground - really beautiful!  

Scenes from yesterday:
