Now in South Dakota

Today we went to the Pipestone National Monument in Pipestone, MN. This is where the Indians got the stone to make their peace pipes. I took a 1.5 mile loop around the grounds that took me to the site of one of the quarries. After we toured the monument we moved to Flandreau, South Dakota for the weekend. I'm staying at an Indian Casino that offers RV parking for $10.00 a night. Pretty cheap as long as I stay out of the casino. Here are pictures of what I saw on the walk.
