Inspiring travel stories, tips, and guides from a couple exploring the world one destination at a time.
Medora is located in the far western part of North Dakota, almost next to the Montana border. It’s where Theodore Roosevelt National Park is located. There isn’t much else here, but between the National Park and just enough to see and do in Medora, it’s just enough.
Custer is a great location to stay when visiting the Black Hills of South Dakota. It is ideally located to see most of the Black Hills sights, other than Deadwood or Sturgis, and has plenty of bars and restaurants when not sightseeing. We last visited in 2018, so opted to not see some of the same attractions as before. Instead we focused on new sites and revisited favorites, like Custer State Park.
Interior is one of the oldest Badlands towns dating back to the 1800s. It is adjacent to one of the entrances to the National Park and is one of the best places to find an RV park with full hook ups.
Mitchell is located in the southeastern corner of South Dakota along highway 90. It’s known for the World’s only Corn Palace. From Yankton, South Dakota it was only about an hour and a half drive to Mitchell.
Yankton, South Dakota is a small city on the banks of the Missouri River across from Nebraska. It is located in south eastern South Dakota just downstream of the Gavins Point Dam.
Branson is located in the south eastern corner of Missouri in the Ozark Mountains. The area attracts visitors from Missouri and across the country. Not only does Branson have an incredible amount of live entertainment, but the Ozark Mountain’s beautiful scenery and outdoor activities are a huge attraction too. The Ozark Mountains are between southern Missouri and northern Arkansas and cover about 47,000 square miles. The tallest mountain is Buffalo Lookout at 2,561 feet. The area is hilly with lots of rivers. From Eminence, it was a 3-hour drive to Branson.
