Down a Long river Valley Slope to the Missouri River.
"We have lunch of hamburgers and malteds at an A & W place in Mobridge … “
Mobridge, SD., is where we go down this slope into Missouri River Valley. The buildings of Mobridge appear and a Rodeo Arena is ahead on right. It is so hot on this road that newly melted tar is oozing up from the (old) repaired cracks of the pavement. As I take this photo, shiny black tar sticks to my shoes and gets all over the rug in the car! It’s 6:00 pm. I’m tired, hot, thirsty, hungry and really ready ready for the cool of the ZMM A & W place described in passage above. Just 3 miles and I’ll have a good, cool Root Beer in my hands – Right? I intensively search for the A & W, in Mobridge, all the way to the bridge, which is an additional 6 miles. No “A & W place” is to be found! I ask directions. Younger people don’t seem to recognize what I’m asking about.
