We continued across South Dakota and into southern Minnesota. We are spending the night in Albert Lea, Minnesota. Both South Dakota and southern Minnesota are very flat and open. Minnesota seemed to have more trees and more farms where crops are planted rather than the cattle ranches. We saw none or very few windmills in South Dakota but there have been a lot in Minnesota.

One interesting thing we noticed was the price of gas in both SD and MN. The 87 octane is approximately $3.69 and the 89 octane is $3.59 a gallon. Apparently the 89 octane contains the 10% ethanol, making it less expensive.

Tomorrow we will continue to head towards home. I probably won't make any more entries until we get to Long Lake but thanks to everyone for sharing our trip with us and following us along each day. It has been fun!
