Rapid City SD

On our trip from Plankinton to Americas Mailbox we stopped at the visitors center just before the Missouri river. Very nice exhibits on Lewis and Clark. There was light rain so it was not very picturesque.

We arrived at Americas Mailbox about 2:30 local time and got checked in and received information on where to go to get SD drivers license  the following day.  So after we got parked in our site and set up we decided to head out to find the license place and wal mart as well as get something to eat for dinner.

We found a Taco Johns and decided to try their fare.  We placed our order and as I was reaching for my wallet, surprise, we were selected to have dinner on Taco Johns. Apparently they do this from time to time. Cool a free meal.

Thursday we went to the license office and within about 30 minutes we had our SD drivers license. Back to Americas Mailbox to start the vehicle registration process. The word is to let AM do the work for us so we signed POA and filled our a couple of forms and gave the money for the registrations.

Since we had plenty of daylight left we headed to Mt. Rushmore. Wow what a difference 24 years make. We took the hike to the base of  the monument which provided different views. Quite an experience.


Our return trip took us on 16a which was a much better motorcycle road but the jeep was fun none the less.

Welcome to new fellow America's Mailbox "residents". You really don't need AM to do the registration of your vehicles for you. Very quick and painless to do yourself.
Enjoy your stay. There's a lot to do in that area of the state.

We are also SD residents but with another Mail Service on the other side of the state. Gotta love the Rapid City area. Spend a bit of time there two years ago. Be sure to take lots of time to visit Custer State Park.
