1493400240 Thu, 27 April 2017 1493322420
Friday, April 28, 2017 Stayed in Oacoma, SD
This Morning: Temp: 33
Today's stop: Stayed Over
States Today: South Dakota
Accrued miles to Date: 1416
Saying for the day: Friends are God's way of taking really good care of us.
Thank you Lord for cloud cover once again! It didn’t get as cold again as we thought. But it was very windy again.
We’ll be exploring today, starting with the Lewis and Clark Cultural Center. Whoops, Closed til May 1st. But we did see "Dignity", a 50 foot statue of an Indian woman holding a blanket (see pic), made entirely of Stainless Steel. Just erected last year. It’s stunning. She is representative of the Lakota and Dakota peoples.
From there we went to the “Roam Free Park” overlooking the Missouri River; a beautiful, scenic area. The white and pink cherry trees are in total bloom.
Next we stop at the St. Joseph’s Indian School and the Atka Lakota Museum. Yippee, it’s open. Such an amazing display of Indian artifacts and history, as well as superb displays.
We head on over to Big Al’s, a tourist attraction similar to Wall Drugs, but on a much, much smaller scale. We just walked around all the little shops then returned to the campground to ready for tomorrow’s next leg. Wyoming Bound.
Next stop: Sundance, Wyoming, Mountain View RV Park

Robert Chamberlin Great pics from Oacoma. I'm glad you stood next to Dignity so we could imagine the actual size. Any special story about the Chamberlain bridge?
Will Mitchell Thanks for everyone's comments we really enjoy seeing them. Bob if you google the bridge it has quite a history, replaced or altered many times. To much to put here.
