Today we traveled from
Yankton, SD to Pierre, SD, visiting old Fort Randall, the Akta Lakota
Indian Museum at Chamberlain, and the Cultural Heritage Center at the
capital. Along the way we got beautiful views of the Missouri River and
were able to see three legs of the Grand Detour, or Big Bend.

Below is the ruin of an old chapel at Fort Randall, first military post in
SD, 1856-1892
