In light of the abortion law South Dakota passed, my wife and I are seriously discussing taking our family vacation to SD this fall. My question is in late Aug. or early Sept. what do we want to see and do. We'll usually just stay a couple days with the kids. State fair? ( something wholesome or preferably Christian) The Arkansas state fair is horrible. The Kansas state fair is wonderful. Anyone got any ideas?
Red Robin:
If I may, I'd like to offer some suggestions...
The first to me would be Mount Rushmore and the Black Hills....I personally have been to Rushmore several times, and still love going back.
From there you could visit the Devils Tower in Wyoming...it's not that far and would be a great day trip from the Rapid City/Black Hills area.
As well, I would also consider taking a trip up through the Badlands of NORTH Dakota to Medora...and Roosevelt National Park.
The South Dakota State Fair runs around Labor Day time. I have not been but it's in financial dispair, and sadly those who attend seem to be really disappointed.
I know that Jinglebob has some dinosauer (? spelling) artifacts on his place. And, I've yet to go through the Badlands of SD but have traveled south of Kadoka to Martin and that road skirts the Badlands, and there are some really beautiful landscapes...
As well, we have a lot of fishing around our area, and Mr. TTB and I would love to host you...we have a really neat "Old Stone Church" on the adjoining place to ours.
Let us know if we can be of more assistance....
Cheers---
