Saturday we packed up and moved on, the weather was now sunny and clear, we drove north to Indian Creek State park on the banks of the Oahe Lake, which is really the Missouri river dammed. Sally enjoyed taking pics of the Prairie, here it is quite farmy, lots of grain and green. On the way we stopped off for Coff/T at a really small village called Onida (the 'i' is pronounced as in the word 'I'/me. The tumble weed brushed loudly through as we parked in the main street, the bakery cafe seemed to be the only place open, amongst the tall grain silos, as this was the end of the line for the railway which carried all the grain away.

Once we arrived at Indian Creek SP we camped on a promontory with a lovely view of the Oahe Res, which is dammed just above Pierre, now a hundred miles downstream, Oahe Res is actually pretty near 200 miles long, but not too wide as it follows the Missouri River valley We were able to sit out and catch the sun for a few hours, which was very nice and quite unusual. Also got some nice pics of birds that were around the place.
