She was from Rock Island, Illinois, but we had our engagement party in Davenport, Iowa, just across the Mississippi. Our wedding was at her parents' summer house in Park Rapids, Minnesota. The nearest airport to there is Fargo, and we spent our wedding night at a Holiday Inn there during a minor flood. Because of the rain, we arrived after the restaurant closed, so we had to take off our shoes and wade across the parking lot to McDonald's for dinner. Perhaps this was a sign that the marriage was fated to fail.<BR/><BR/>I scored Nebraska by going to a National Association of Insurance Commissioners meeting in Omaha, and Montana by spending a week working on a dinosaur dig sponsored by the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to the day when I can sample the glories of South Dakota.Claude Scaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13183579833702456213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16034332.post-44791895282709673132008-09-03T11:09:00.000-04:002008-09-03T11:09:00.000-04:00So how did you get to set your feet in Iowa, Wyomi...So how did you get to set your feet in Iowa, Wyoming, North Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska and Montana - and never make it to South Dakota, home of the Badlands, Sturgis, Deadwood, and the original Little House on the Prairie (De Smet)??
