OK, so the sky wasn’t too blue when I left Sioux Falls - alittle more like gray.

It’s a pretty straight shot from Sioux Falls to Rapid City – literally straight. I took a bit of an excursion off the Interstate, but SD back roads are kind of like the Interstate – flat and straight.
Regular Unleaded is $.09 cheaper than Super Unleaded. Why’s that? In South Dakota it is not required to add methanol in regular unleaded. Super Unleaded has 10% methanol. Methanol doesn’t cost as much as gasoline – well at least that’s what they told me at the gas station.
I saw roadside billboards for Wall Drugs (http://www.walldrug.com/) for two hundred miles, so when I got to Wall, SD I pulled off and visited the famous Wall Drug Store.

After Wall I was off to Rapid City, only 50 or 60 miles down the road.
The next two days I’ll stay in Rapid City and explore the Bad Lands – stay tuned.
