The last night I stayed in Aberdeen, I didn't stay there. I got back to town later than I had intended, about 8:30. It turned out there was a Super-sized Walmart opening the next day and every hotel room in town was booked. This is not a 1-or-2 hotel town. Clearly, these folk are big on shopping and a new Walmart opening up is something not to be missed.
The closest town with a hotel was 45 miles away. I set off. The town had two hotels... all booked up. The next closest town was Huron, 45 miles further. That adds up to 90 miles extra to drive for a hotel just because Walmart was opening a new store. Huron boasts the largest pheasant in the world. I think it was staring into my window the whole night. |

This is the giant pheasant of Huron, South Dakota. They claim it is the world's largest pheasant. it probably is. |

"There's a red house over yonder..." So say the song lyrics. Is this might be the house where "My baby" is staying? Hmmm... high class broad. |

It looks like they had been storing their dead cars along this berm for years when a section of it washed out. |
the Fawn Motel in Pierre, South Dakota has the coolest sign in town. the Motel might seem a little weary on the outside, but the room I stayed in was clean and newly redone on the inside. |
