We drove across South Dakota from Colorado via North Platte Nebraska on two lane highways for 10 hours because I'm a two lane road-less-traveled kinda guy. I've been doing it since I went to college in Greeley, Colorado in 1975 from Minnesota. Windom is always the place for the last 50 years and I didn't even plan it that way. They used to have a Happy Chef where you pressed the button and the giant Happy Chef talked to you. So, we were unable to find anything to eat as we bounced back on Interstate 90 headed east, just before we got to Sioux Falls, SD which is about 60 miles away from the Worthington, MN exit, the beginning of the trek northeast towards Minneapolis on old Minnesota State Highway 60. Just a short time off the Interstate we arrived in Windom a little after 9:00 p.m. For those of you who are not Dairy Queen experts, most small town ones close at 9:00 in the summer time, although a few rare ones stay open 'til 10:00 p.m. The inside seating closes at 9:30 p.m. according to the sign on the drive-thru although we were eating in our car at 9:30 and people were still sitting there. Remember, when you are starving after coming across the South Dakota desert at 98 degrees all day, those hot dogs are pretty darn good and they are all that and a bag of chips if you order the combo.The two boys working in there slammed the food and mini-blizzards out in record time.

Near the halfway point of our drive. Good place for rest and bathroom break. Turtle pecan blizzard was pretty good. Quick and friendly service.
