Drawing the battle lines

Debbie's Blog: Our next stop brings us to Sioux Falls, SD to see the concrete outline of the USS South Dakota. The couldn't bring to entire ship into land locked SD so the only brought some parts and then laid a concrete outline of the ship to create a memorial to the ship. We geocached, of course and I found it!! Yah for me. It was a tiny magnet on a huge radar dish. We then took a walk through the gift shop/info center. There were a lot of nice items in here. My favorite was a letter to a mom from the ships chaplain regarding her sons death and burial at sea. It really made me realize how difficult WWII times were. We are still on schedule, even with a gas stop, and now heading onto Montrose SD for a stop at the sculpture park.
