We chose South Dakota because it had some of the lowest COVID-19 cases and because neither of us had visited many of the monuments or parks in the greater area! 🙂
This photo was taken on the Sunday Gulch Trail in the State Park. It is either at the beginning or the end, depending on which starting point you choose. We enjoyed it at the end of our tour and it was one of the best views without power lines in sight, plus there were raspberry bushes everywhere in the area! 😀
This is a turnaround spot for campers who have a nice short overlook trail.

The hotel where we stayed had us plugged into one of its power outlets at the back, which allowed us to add 21.37 kWh to our battery while we were resting. I wanted to mention that charge session because all the other charging operations were either eating, stretching or running around while we waited. We didn’t wait around for 14 hours!
