Day 27 - Corn, Silos, Tractor Pulls and Sioux Falls

We are in our last full day in South Dakota, and Americana abounds.  Field upon field of corn and ample silos in which to store it were on every side for miles.





The roads were generally good with a dash of potholes here and there, and travel was rather swift for our 70 miles, arriving in Sioux Falls by noon.  Before that arrival, though, we stopped in the small town of Canistota where they were having a Tractor Pull for various kids' age groups.  We happend to come upon the 4-year-old competition.  Let-er rip!!






Upon arriving in Sioux Falls, we were amazed at the number of Harley Davidson riders there were all around.  We found out later that this was the evening of Hot Harley Nights, a benefit for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, that included a parade of Harleys through the downtown area.   Scores had gathered right behind our hotel at the famous Scarlett O'Hara's for pre-ride festivities, so we were familiar with the potato-potatlo-potato sound of their engines as we departed by taxi for an advant-garde trip to a non-buffet dinner at the Parker Bistro downtown.  Wow - were we impressed with this lovely place.  We leave you with a few pics of our dinner for two at Parker's.
