Jun 15, 2018 - Montrose SD – Pioneer Campground

Finally arrived in South Dakota and we’re getting closer to fishing. Lost some time on our trip out of Nebraska. We have decided it might be time to sell our boat, so Roger put some for sale signs on it while we were in Fremont. He forgot to take them off before we hit the road and while driving through Columbus, a couple flagged us down. Seems our boat is just exactly what they’ve been looking for. The wife did most of the looking/talking because her husband just had a knee replacement and couldn’t get around very well. She really liked it...

On our way to the fishing lakes, we made it as far as Montrose SD before stopping for the night. Roger found this really nice city campground when searching for a place to stop after the campground in Canton SD was full. You get to swim in the city’s pool if you stop here and camp during the summer. That’s a perk you don’t see every day. Bridget liked it here because there was lots of green grass to lay in. Don’t know how we missed stopping here before. I guess it’s because we don’t take Interstate 90 to get to Mitchell from Yankton.

Sep 9, 2013 - OTRA - SD - Montrose

So, today we left at 11:00 for our 148-mile drive to Montrose, South Dakota and Pioneer Park where we’ll stay for 3 nights. I’ve noticed that Montrose is closer to Madison SD (where we’re going to meet our mail-forwarding people and pick up our mail) than Mitchell SD is so we’ll take a day while we’re here and run up there. We traveled from the corn/soybean area into the corn/soybean/cattle area today. More and more cattle are beginning to show up in fields and feed lots. I feel so sorry for those in the feed lots. They get shipped in from...
