After leaving Roy Lake we headed pretty much straight West. We stopped in Aberdeen for lunch, gas, and to get a little rock out of our wheel. They had a very pretty park that we walked around after eating. From there we headed to Mobridge which is right on the Missouri river and set up camp at Indian Creek SP. It was 93 degrees out so we headed to the swimming beach which we had all to ourselves. It is amazing how clear the river is. Later in the evening we watched a few otters swimming along the river too.
Wednesday we headed into Mobridge looking for sights. It took us forever to find the Chamber of Commerance, but finally we hunted it down. We found the monument with the large Walleye, the monument for Jedediah Smith, the monument for Sacagawea, and the monument for Sitting Bull. We drove 22 miles out to see Fort Manuel which is advertised in Mobridge but has not been taken care of in 15 years. We still checked it out, after driving into someone's driveway with barking German shepherds and a few other guard dogs. They barked as we walked to the Fort but didn't come out there. They must be used to people going out there. As we walked back to the Jeep, a truck coming in stopped and the nice man asked us if we were lost. The canoe on top of the Jeep must have made it look as if we were lost. Back in town we toured the Klein Museum which has more stuff in it than most I have seen. Deffinitely worth seeing. After lunch we headed back to the camper and hit the river again. Not as hot as yesterday for sure.
