Wandering around Sioux Falls…

Last time, as you remember, I arrived at Sioux Falls and visited downtown.

So now it was time to visit the falls themselves. This was almost a week after I’d arrived in town and I’d pretty much taken care of all my chores so time to do some sightseeing. And as I promised last time, here’s my visit to Sioux Falls!

First, I parked in the restaurants parking lot. This is the Sioux River as it exits the falls.

This old building was something once, power house maybe? I don’t remember. It’s a restaurant now.

And on the other side…nice park like setting over there.And here’s a view of the entire ‘fall’. Those rocks were really neat looking. The color, the appearance were all new to me. Just across the bridge is an idyllic park setting. Signs all over the place about having weddings here. I could see why some would enjoy that. Pretty. And a close up. Look at all the foam. It’s said that that foam is unicorn poop. Or ground up angels who got too close to the turbines. True story. Pretty cool. Enjoyed several hours here wandering around. Bought something from the restaurant and enjoyed lunch there, too. “Nice goosey goosey. Don’t go attacking my sandal-ed feet now, ya hear?” Well. I thought that was pretty neat. I was here in mid-May so there weren’t the crowds you might expect if the sun wasn’t hidden. Plus school was still in session so no kids to speak of.

So that was my visit to Sioux Falls proper. Famous in their own right, but the water flow was so inconsistent that it was difficult for industry to get a strong foothold here.

Next time we’re off to Minneapolis and places nearby. Thanks for reading!

    Please contact me about the decal work you had done on the Bounder in Mexico. I have a ’08 Born Free and the decals are showing their age. Would like to have something painted on to match original decals.

    What they do in Mexico is scrap off the old vinyl with razors. Labor down there is inexpensive so that’s where you’ll save money…on hand work. That leaves a ghostly outline on the fiberglass that they tape off, then the ‘artist’ airbrushes paint on it. They are hundreds of skilled (and not so skilled) automotive painters there in Mexico so it’s best to drive somewhere down there and ask your neighbors and the RV park office who’s best in that area. Many painters down there are talented enough that they can recommend a new paint scheme, different decal setup, etc. or they’ll just do it exactly like you ask. I have used painters in both Mazatlan and San Felipe. Here’s a link to my blog post about the painting work I’ve had done down there:
