Sioux Falls, South Dakota

It was with a slight bit of embarrassment that the campground we went to in Sioux Falls was a Jellystone campground, where we were greeted by a staff member in a Yogi Bear costume. However, this was the only campground in Sioux Falls which is willing to assist full timers in becoming residents of South Dakota. Our stay at Jellystone was enhanced by the full moon which Yogi Bear helped support as it shined down on the ever present corn fields.



Our efforts the next day in Sioux Falls to become full-time residents of South Dakota where facilitated by the efficiency and friendliness of everyone we dealt with. Our mail forwarding services, Alternative Resources, is clearly a “low overhead” enterprise, but the people there were both knowledgeable about the mechanics of registering to vote and getting a driver’s license and extremely helpful in helping us to accomplish those goals. The employees at the driver’s license office and the tax collector’s office immediately recognized that we were full-time RVers as soon as they saw the address we were using to become South Dakota residents. They nonetheless displayed no hesitation is assisting us in becoming licensed and registered SD residents.

On Tuesday we head across South Dakota to the Bandlands National Park. We've seen enough corn for awhile - looking forward to visiting the parks.
