Day 6 Tuesday Rapid City, South Dakota to Wounded Knee to Winner, South Dakota-Trouble

225 miles

We took a break from I-90 to see the Wounded Knee battle ground.Very scenic and no traffic through parts of the Badlands and Reservation Lands. We encountered a few delays when the road was under construction. There were fields of sunflowers with their heads bowed and tires hooked to fences.  We wondered why that was and later learned at the tire store that if the fence is electric, the wires are attached to the tire sides.  Then the rancher can move the fence or gate without get an electric shock.  

(Formatting pictures and story has been a challenge today)

The road was straight for a long ways.

We learned about the massacre at Wounded Knee at this sign board.
