Well it has been an eventful few days to say the least. We were able to go and see Laura Ingalls Wilder museum, and the Seed Saver's farm were they have 25000 heirloom seeds in Burr Oak Iowa. We drove through Walnut Grove, Sleepy eye, Mankato, and stopped in De Smet to visit the Ingalls and Wilder homestead sites. We drove through Mitchell SD and saw the Corn Palace, unfortunately we couldn't stop because of parking issues with the trailer. We arrived in Interior SD at the Badlands on Thursday evening. We unhitched the trailer and drove through the Badlands and then on to Rapid City on friday hoping to get to Mt Rushmore, when a brake line blew on the truck. The visitor center was still open so we pulled in and asked about auto repair places and had our motor club tow our truck over to the repair shop where they were supposed to get to it in the morning. We had to rent a car to get back to interior to our dog "Hope" a golden retreiver. We were still able to see Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and Bear Country USA, while using the car. There was some mix ups at the shop and the truck wasn't done until this afternoon. They were kind enough to pay for the extra day car rental since it was their mistake. Today we went on a train ride for my Father's day gift, it was wonderful, we even got robbed. Don't worry it was planned!!!!! We have been so blessed by God on this trip. I can't imagine losing the brakes while towing the trailer in the mountains. God has us in his hands and has been protecting us this trip. The Truck is back in commission and we will be back on the road come morning. Thank you all for your prayers and Happy Father's Day!!!!!!
