Yankton

We are just across the Nebraska/South Dakota border in Yankton, SD at a beautiful Corps of Engineers park called Cottonwood - guess why?  It is located just below the dam on Lewis and Clark Lake. The water level is very high due to the snow melt and increased rainfall - water is gushing over the spillway. The flood gates are wide open - the first time since the dam was built in 1957 and someone told Roger it is flowing at over twice the previously recorded high. We can see the water spray from the campground.

We plan to stay here for 3 nights and recuperate. Just relaxing, cleaning, doing laudry and getting reorganized. Still hot - in the 90's - so golfing doesn't sound fun yet but, we'll check out the bike trail early in the morning.
