I finished my last minute errands and have run the pre-loading checklist. All is staged at the backdoor and I will pack the vehicle tonite, minus the cold stuff for the cooler. I was planning on a noon start so that I could hit this incredible Brazilian steakhouse in Sioux Falls called 'Carnivale". They have a fantastic salad bar and hot food buffet, but the big feature is the spit roasted meats that come out of the kitchen on a regular basis. Waiters/gauchos walk around with swords loaded with an unbelievable array of spit roasted meats that they slice off at your table. It is a never-ending meat-sweats inducing proteinfest! And on top of that, they have a fantastic wine list at reasonable prices. I have bitten the bullet and decided that this is not in my best interest. Last time I ate there I was unable to make the drive home to Rapid City and ended up crashing in a hotel for a 12 hour food coma. I ate so much and gained so much weight that I shed my skin like an anaconda. I am afraid the poor housekeeper that had to deal with that in the hotel was psychologically scarred for life. If I stop at Carnivale I may not actually get back on the road until the Classic is almost over!!!
As it stands, I am doing an overnite in Atchison, KS and should arrive at the Classic on Thursday late afternoon. See ya'll then!
