Back
on the road heading east on Interstate 90. |
 |
|
We
stopped for the night at the Best
Western Ramkota Hotel in Sioux Falls, South
Dakota. They welcome pets as long as they are
not left unattended in the room. This was a
great place to stop as they had a brand new
wonderful indoor kid's swimming pool and play
land which our daughter loved. For dog walking,
there is a city bike and walking trail located
behind the hotel. |
 |
|
On
the way out of town the next day, we stopped at
Falls Park which is the city of Sioux Falls'
historic birthplace. The city exists today
because of the land spectators who staked claim
to town sites here in 1856. They did so because
of the falls. The Big Sioux River runs through
the park and today the falls are the most
frequently photographed attraction in the
region. Pets are welcome at the park but
need to be leashed. |
 |
|
After
a day in the park, we headed back out onto the
road. |
 |
|
Here
is the highway welcome sign for Iowa as we left
South Dakota. |
 |
|
Back
on Interstate 80, we stopped for the night at
this Motel 6 in Avoca, Iowa. It was a brand new
motel and they allowed dogs at no extra
charge. |
 |
|
The
next day we headed out on I-80 towards Chicago, our next
destination. We stopped at several rest stops
in Iowa. This state has some of the least
pet-friendly rest stops that we found on our
cross-country trip. Dogs are only allowed in
certain small restricted areas and it is
enforced. |
|
|
|
When we got near Des Moines, Iowa, we found a
great attraction that allows dogs. The Living
History Farms offered one of the best
dog-friendly attractions on our trip. You and your
leashed pooch will be able to walk around and view
a 1700 Iowa Indian Farm, an 1850 Pioneer Farm, the
1875 town of Walnut Hill and a 1900 Farm. The
farms have period costumed interpreters who will
explain to you the work they are doing on the
farm. The farms are spread out, making for a great
walking opportunity.
