Mammoth Dig, Hot Springs SD
I spent the day in Hot Springs, SD, starting with the Mammoth Site’s incredible dig, then partially walked the Freedom Trail, tried farm-to-table ice cream and a burger at Two Cows Creamery, and drove into a stormy night on my way south.

Idlewild, Jones Ice Cream, and a Quiet Forest Night
A day of wandering backroads led me through Idlewild’s historic roots, a stop for the richest ice cream at Jones in Baldwin, and finally a calm night alone under the pines of the Huron-Manistee National Forest.
