We left Rapid City on Tuesday, July 29, Stopped at Wall, SD, and drove the loop through the Badlands National Park and stopped for the night at Mitchell, SD, at a very nice PassportAmerica Park. On Wednesday we drove to Welcome, MN, with a stop at in Jackson, MN. Thursday, July 31, we drove to Spring Grove, MN, where we stayed for 3 nights at Hidden Bluff's RV Resort. We took a tour of the Amish community around Harmony, MN, but intentionally did NOT take pictures of these amazing people. On Sunday, Aug. 3, we stopped at Hillsdale, IL, at a very nice RPI park - would have enjoyed staying longer, but had reservations for a week at White Oaks on the Lake in Monticello, IN. Our first night here was VERY exciting, starting with an evacuation to the first floor of the club house for a severe thunderstorm warning, then when that ended back to the RV for thnderstorms and heavy rain ALL night. At 9 AM it's still raining, so this looks like an IN the RV day.
