Dignity
Driving across South Dakota on Route 90 you'll come upon Dignity standing
tall overlooking the Missouri River.
Located near Chamberlain, SD at a rest stop of all places,
you'll be treated to one of the best rest stops you'll ever come across!
Dignity was donated by a couple for all of South Dakota to enjoy.
She honors the Lakota and Dakota Indian tribes.
Standing 50 feet tall she can't be missed!
Dignity's view of the Missouri River.
I love the stories and adventures of Lewis and Clark and their discoveries of the West.
They camped near this point.
The rest stop has a small museum to enjoy their adventures.
The hills of South Dakota lay ahead. The only thing that would've made this scene more
spectacular would be for buffalo roaming up and down the hills.
South Dakota's Rest stops also have an outline of a teepee.
...and a place to relax underneath!
I would've had to work on my claustrophobia issues if I had to
sleep in a teepee.
A replica of Lewis and Clark's boat inside the rest stop.
The tail end of Lewis and Clark's boat replica extends outside.
Dignity has that wise look about her.
200 years and counting since the Corps of Discovery permeated the West!
Around the world today:
Great monument.
