Visiting Sioux Falls
We had a simple agenda for the day:
- Go see the falls
- Get the propane tank fixed and filled
- Get some groceries
- Do Laundry
- Make arrangements for tomorrow night’s stay
We accomplished all of these things.
The falls of the Big Sioux River are a series of short falls. They are surrounded by a beautifully landscaped park. There are no fences and it’s possible to walk on the rocks right up to the water’s edge. Kids were having a grand time scrambling over the rocks and exploring. I remember doing the same things when we visited Pigeon River Falls in northern Minnesota.
The guy at ab Propane fixed the tank in less than five minutes. After assessing the situation, he rapped the tank upside down on a table to free up the overfill protection float inside. After that, the tank filled normally.
We got groceries and a small electric fan at Walmart. Beth hopes that a little breeze from the fan will make getting to sleep easier on these hot, humid nights.
Laundry is laundry, but the laundry room at the campground has couches and is air conditioned. That’s where I’m preparing this blog.
The Bunk a Biker we contacted agreed to host us tomorrow night.

When we went to the falls we noticed the downtown area has lots of shops and street art.
We used Google to search for a craft beer pub and found several. We picked the Woodgrain pub and called an Uber. After being dropped off we walked a bit and listened to a bassoon ensemble.
They may never become famous, but they were having a lot of fun.
There was a three-piece band playing outside the Woodgrain, so we sat and listened for a couple of hours.
We got an Uber back to the campground and prepared to move on to our next destination.
