Long drive to home made food!

Chamberlain, SD where we had stopped for the night yesterday, turned out to be on the mighty Missouri river. There are three picturesque bridges (two for road, one for rail) over the river at this location. The river is impressive even at its early stage here.

The location also claims fame for being the camping grounds for the Lewis & Clark expedition team on both directions of their exploratory journey to the Pacific coast in early 1800s. Going over the route Lewis & Clark & their men took during the expedition while I was at the at the Lewis and Clark information center, I realized they had moved upstream along the Missouri river from St. Louis to North Dakota making their way to the Pacific.

Other than the brief stop at the Lewis & Clark information center in Chamberlain, we didn't stop anywhere for longtime on our journey to JR's place in Rochester, MN. Reached Rochester late afternoon and had a relaxed evening at JR's place, sipping beer, watching the Hindi movie 'Main Hoon Na', playing with the cute dog 'Gizmo', spending time with JR's family and enjoying some good home made Bangalorean food.

Home made food after almost two weeks!!! Yummy!!!
