Apparently South Dakotans are jealous of the beauty and bounty that surrounds us lucky Minnesotans. It's the kind of crap we take for granted because we see it every day. Hills covered with trees (never mind the endless raking of leaves) because they have no leaves or hills in eastern South Dakota. They also have no humans but that's for another day. (Yes, I finally offended all 17 people in South Dakota, next stop, IOWA!)
The recap reads like a very condensed version of a grown-up roadtrip from Sioux Falls to Shakopee complete with a truckload of golf carts on their way to hibernate. The cargo, not so exciting, the pics, fairly decent.
In all seriousness, it was cool to see a photo of an actual sugarbeet. I hear that they used to be grown back in my homeland but I've never seen a real one or a photo of one until I read this story. Hey, the writer/reporter even offers up the video below but be warned, it's not much and it probably should have been left on the cutting room floor.

I saw those sugar beet trucks running last weekend too. There's a lot of sugar beets around Redwood Falls.
I grew up in West Central Minnesota - serious flat country. 20 miles to our west was South Dakota and it's border was marked by a long line of hill - near Sisseton, SD. We were in awe of that South Dakota hill.
