Day 3: Plains and Prairies

After driving along the cornfields in Nebraska and Iowa, we reached the plains and prairies of South Dakota. Trees are sparse here and the air is dry. When we reached the campground at 5pm it was 90 degrees with 26% humidity, a relief from the often oppressive humidity in the South. We also entered the Mountain Time Zone and gained an hour, giving us more time to enjoy the evening.
Our campground is surrounded by wide open space and we were able to catch a beautiful sunset. We also met two tent campers from Sweden who are riding their bicycles from New York City to Seattle. Their story is absolutely amazing! 
To my delight, I was also able to show off my fly swatting skills today. Yes, I have a talent swatting flies. There are a lot of flies here and I eliminated 22 out of 23 flies in the RV. I have mastered the hard surface swatting and am now moving on to practice swatting flies in mid-air. 
Our refrigerator is working again. We think that the refrigerator door kept opening during driving. We just had the door replaced, which must have affected the locking mechanism. Being a nurse, I quickly figured out a way to make it work with minimal supplies.
