July 23rd - Yankton, SD, to Fort Thompson, SD

​Hank was surprised how green South Dakota was. We're not sure if this is typical for late July. There was more hay than corn compared to what we saw in Nebraska - and the corn was not as tall. But, nevertheless, the prarier was quite green. 

We followed the Missouri River to the Northwest throughout the day, finally arriving at another Corps of Engineers campground. This one was free of algae and watermilfoil, but the weather was windy, so we passed on paddle boarding. We opted instead to explore the large campground and let the dogs chase their toys in the water and on the grass.

This campground had some unique, curved privacy screens around each picnic table. Someone got quite creative with this design, to the good effect
