Plankinton, SD

After another day of difficult driving in the wind from Council Bluffs, Iowa via I-29 then I-90 to Plankinton, SD, we were so very pleased to encounter some bright spots to end our day.

First, we chose to park our rig at Hills RV Park and Campground, just off I-90 at exit 308.  This is not an RV Resort but is nicely kept with all pull-thru sites and easy access to the highway.  The owner is quite nice and friendly and was kind enough to make some suggestions for dinner, which leads me to bright spot number two:

We add our endorsement of the 5-star rating.  Owned and operated by Teresa L. Bathke, Al's I-90 Cafe is located just across the street from Hills RV Park and is a must try spot for anyone traveling through this area.  Teresa is quite an excellent cook and we very much enjoyed our meal of some delicious soup, followed by a hot roast beef sandwich (made with Teresa's own fresh bread), with mashed potatoes and homemade gravy.  It must be noted that Teresa does everything that is required to run this place and mostly on her own.  We welcome her as the latest addition to the followers of this blog and wish her all the best.
