3 States...1 Day

Day #118
Tripometer: 15299.3 miles
Mile #15000: Brandt, South Dakota
Oil Change #4

First I went to Sertoma Butterfly House in South Dakota. It was ok but not as cool as Butterfly World in Florida. Next stop, Pipestone National Monument in Minnesota. This was very cool. I met and talked to a Lakota Indian who was carving a peace pipe. He was really interesting to talk to. I walked around a little outside and checked out the quarry where Native Americans still go to find pipestone. It was very small and a little out of the way but totally worth going to. Last stop, Fargo, North Dakota to the Roger Maris Museum. It was very small but very interesting. There was a 45 minute video on his entire major league career. I really liked that they looked at him as a whole player and not just him during the 1961 season when he broke Babe Ruth's homerun record.
