Wrapping up Chicago

Mary Grace is asleep now, although she probably will not get the 8 hours she requires.  We are leaving before sunrise tomorrow AM to continue our journey.  Our next stop is Kadoka.  I joked to MG tonight that there were probably 10x more people in the Hancock Building than all of Kadoka.  The latest census placed the population of Kadoka at 654.  The two main attractions in Kadoka (other than us) are the Depot Museum which opens from 6 - 8 pm on  a few days. and the airport (two grass runways).  About 2 hours past Kadoka is Mount Rushmore.  Since its nearly 14 hours of driving from Chicago to Kadoka, I felt that was close enough - we can cover the last couple miles Saturday morning.  Speaking of Saturday, the weather should be wonderful... wonderful that is if you like the weather report below.

We better bundle up!  Fortunately, it should only be 2 or so inches.  Also, the record low for the day is -4, so at least it won't be that cold (the record high is 64, so it could have have much better too)!!!

PS>  Pictures and more on Chicago tomorrow.

  1. After seeing the weather forecast in Kadoka I can understand why the population is only 654. Have fun with that- I hope you packed your thermal underwear. <3 alie
