Earth Day Exploring South Dakota: Lake Alvin and The Historic Klondike Dam

What better way to celebrate Earth Day than to get out and explore the Earth?

Southeast South Dakota has beautiful places for a hike like Lake Alvin in Lincoln County and the Historic Klondike Dam on the SD/Iowa border.

I will fully admit, I'm not super outdoorsy, but I don't mind a little walkabout once in a while.

From soda to pop to sloppy Joes, different parts of the country have their local quirks and language. Simple phrases can have totally different means, local events may seem weird, and food may go by a unique name.

If you're new to South Dakota here is a sort of translation guide for some odd things you may see or hear.
