  • For our final day in South Dakota we are exploring Sioux Falls, the largest city in the state. We kicked off our morning with a great local coffee shop, checked out Falls Park, had an amazing lunch from Bread & Circus Sandwich Kitchen, wandered around downtown and saw sculptures, ate macarons, and saw the Arc of Dreams. It was a great end to an incredible week in South Dakota!

    Safety is our #1 priority and we want to stress that this adventure, and all future adventures, will be done responsibly and with the health of others in mind. Here are the steps we are taking everyday, including in these videos:
    😷Masks and face coverings. We wear these anytime we are near others outside and especially indoors. If we don’t have a mask on in a video, it’s 99% because there was no one around.
    ⏰ Exploring early. We normally start at sunrise anyway because of less crowds, but especially so with COVID. We have been starting our days before sunlight so we can limit our interactions.
    🧼 Washing and sanitizing our hands, especially after touching anything outside of the van.
    🚐 Being in the van 95% of the time when we’re not filming. The adventures we share are a small sliver of our lives. We are staying in the van all day everyday when working and the only time we leave is to do laundry, get gas, or go to the store.
    6️⃣ Keeping our distance. We are trying to stay at least 6 ft from others, which truthfully isn’t always possible (and then we make sure we cover our face).

    When I was in the Army and told people I was from South Dakota... They assumed I was some farm hick from the middle of no-where, and there was nothing in SD but cornfields and dirt roads...
    But its with the help of people like you and the internet, that the misinformation about this great state I grew up in, and eventually (after almost 30 years in the military and working for the government) came back to, and again call my home...
    There is a lot more to SD that you didn't get to... but I can't fault you for not being here during Pheasant Season... Or missing our (Kinda brutal) winters... But hey... -40 degrees keeps the riff-raff out!!!
    I enjoyed your views of my home...
    Safe travels!!

    In 2008 on a trip to Minnesota our car broke down and we had to stay over night in Sioux Falls. I fell in love with the city. I was reminiscing about it and that is what lead me to this video. So glad I watched it. I hope I can make it back there again some day, but for longer than 1 night.

    Loved your trip across SD! My husband and I are retired and love to do road trips. I grew up in WA and my husband moved there in his Freshman year of high school, so we are high school sweethearts. Anyway, my "home" is WA but we now live in NE and have taken a more than a couple of trips to SD, my husbands home growing up. Love the badlands and Custer etc....... You two are so cute and wishing we could go back in time and be young enough again to do all the hiking that you two do and discovering how beautiful OUR country is! We are retired military so have been around a bit ourselves, wouldn't change a thing but do love to live vicariously through your travels. Thank you and keep up the good work taking me hikes!!

    Sioux Falls is the hidden gem of the Midwest. My company (Dakota Tech inc.) stays very busy helping people & businesses troubleshoot technology issues here.
    Sioux Falls is rated #1 in the nation to set up both a business or trust. The city has massive potential for growth in the next few decades. We have 2 massive hospitals headquartered here as well as an Amazon city. Exciting stuff!

    This is what I've been waiting for. I was born and grew up in Sioux Falls. When I was a teenager we could crawl around in those ruins of the Queen Bee Mill. There were some tunnels that would go back like 20 feet or more. The tower at the falls and the Arc of Dreams were all built after I moved away. I've been to the tower since, but I've never seen that Arc, how cool, you've shown me something new about my hometown.
