Day 9 - South Dakota Tour

    We left the motel in Grain Valley, MO around 8:30.

     We had good church service on the bus.  We sang some songs and Cadell brought a brief message and some share things with the group.

     Our first rest stop was at Nevada, MO.  Our lunch stop was in Bentonville. AR.   Some ate at Arby's and the rest of us ate at Taco Bell's.

     An accident outside of Bentonville slowed us down for a few minutes.  That the only event we had on the entire trip. Also, today was the first we rode in any rain.  At times it was pretty heavy.

     Our next stop was at Arkansas Rest Area near Ozark.

    After stopping one last time a truck stop in Morriton,  we got to White Hall around 5:15.

     We decided to run by Benton before going home.

Day 8 - South Dakota Tour

     This morning after a brief devotional by Cadell Welch we left the Sioux Falls motel at 8:30.

     Our first rest stop was in Sioux City.  The rest stop next was near Pacific Junction, Iowa for 3 folks.

     We then stopped for lunch a few miles down the road at a truck stop/restaurant near Percival, Iowa, just across the Missouri River from Nebraska City, NE.  However they were under construction due to flooding and the restrooms and restaurant were closed. They did have portapotties.

     We went on and had lunch a little later at McDonald's in Rock Port, MO.

     Our next stop was at the Pony Express National Museum in St. Joseph, MO.  We viewed the many displays there.

     Before ending up at the Comfort Inn in Grain Valley, MO, we had supper at the Rib Crib in St. Joseph, MO.

     When we leave the motel in the morning we will be 450 miles from home.
