Driving through SD

 We have made a couple of trips across SD late in the evening recently. We all know SD has bugs. Sunday evening was especially heavy with bugs the first half of the homeward trip. We had to stop after the first 100 miles to wash the windshield as it was so covered we could not see well at all. We tried stopping earlier to wash the windows, but it seems so did everyone else as there was no water in the black container at the closed service station.


This is what the front of the van looked liked when we did find a tank of window washing water. Even the car wash attendants were a bit shocked at the condition of the van grill when we stopped to get the van washed on Monday.

As we were driving home on Sunday evening, I kept smelling swamp water, or what I thought was a swamp smell. Later I realized it must have been the smell of fresh 'summer bug kill.' YUCK!
