A 15 mile detour at Hartley took us south to Sutherland for a quick drive around the town where my grandmother was born and raised. With a population of 649 hardy souls it's a typical small town complete with water tower, grain elevator, cemetery and one block long business district. Old homes on tree shaded streets, a small park and volunteer fire department make in one of hundreds.
Leaving the back roads for the interstate we headed north on 29, stopping to split a sandwich at Panera in Sioux Falls. Back on 29 Barb noticed I had a voice mail. She said it was a guy from the Nebraska Furniture Mart and he wanted me to call him. What? Remember the drawing Mike and I entered a few days ago? Naw, couldn't be. Took the first off ramp and called. Yup, $500 worth of home entertainment system was mine; all I had to do was come down and pick it out. Oh. That does present a little problem. So much for Cabela's in Rapid City and buffalo burger in Jackson Hole. Need to find something to do for the next few days and we are working on that now.
Dinner tonight was Five Guys Burgers and Fries. Thanks Mike. Haven't a clue where we are going tomorrow. 447 miles today.
