Day 6 - Tuesday 6/23/26 - NE to SD

Drove 305 miles today from Stanton NE to Aberdeen SD.  Light rain in the morning, then sunny cool day made for easy travel.  Considered visiting the World’s Only Corn Palace


but decided to skip it.  We unfortunately missed the place with 114 varieties of cheese, that was a bummer since cheese 🧀 is our #1 food group (tied with fried dough of any kind 🍩).

Our travel companions include not only the kitties, but also this motley crew consisting of Mr. Moose, Tracker, and Aurora.


Mr. Moose and Tracker have been with us for many years, and Aurora joined for the trip to Alaska. You’ll be seeing them along the way. 
 
Found another cheese store YAY!  Stopped at Dimock Dairy


and got some local smoked cheddar and blue cheddar cheeses 🧀 and a SD lager called Firehouse Bell Tower American Lager. 


Another beautiful day of endless fields of grain, mostly corn.

Research showed that a specialty South Dakota food item is chislic, which is seasoned fried tenderloin bits with a dipping sauce.


We found some at Pounders


a local pub.  Yummy!  Tomorrow the search is on for the best South Dakota dessert, kuchen.  Will let you know what we find.

Favorite city/town: Redfield, SD - the pheasant capital. 

We nearly ran over two of them nearby!
