Day 17: Wall, SD to Omaha, NE 470 miles

Long haul drive day.  Breaking camp was not as efficient as setting up camp.  Since we lose an hour on the drive, we set our clocks ahead before we left so we would be cognizant of the arrival time.  The rolling hills of South Dakota are great.  The only thing I did not like was the photo enforced speed control.  I think I was caught!  110 in a 55 is not that bad.... (JK: 70ish in 55)
We looked for lunch in Sioux Fall, SD.  We had lunch here last time after getting Betsy at the airport.  This year however, we did not eat there.  Why? .....The Stench!  Molly had her stink of the day and maybe the stink of the trip.  Everyone had a turned up nose (except GreGary).  The kids dubbed it Sioux-age Falls.
We stayed at Marriott's new property Element.  We had a full kitchen and a very comfortable bed.  The pre-July 4th fireworks (or gunshots) were near by.  All is good!

  1. The lovely people at Starwood Properties would take umbrage at your giving Marriott credit for the incredible Element Hotel. However, that Residence Inn in Mishawaka wasn't too shabby, either....
