Unboxing South Dakota: What It's Like Living In South Dakota

Is South Dakota cold? Okay we already know the answer to that one. Is South Dakota hip? Okay we already know the answer to that one too. And can you ski in South Dakota?

We’ll talk about that and so so much more. So let’s hop on this pony and get out into the elements. We’re gonna get to know the state of South Dakota everyone!

Ahh Mt. Rushmore. One of the most recognizable monuments in the United States. There’s four presidents carved by dynamite into the side of that mountain. That’s George Washington, our founding father, Thomas Jefferson who helped our country expand and grow, Theodore Roosevelt, the conservationist and Abraham Lincoln, who got us through the Civil War. Each of their faces is 60 feet high.

It took 400 men 14 years to finish this masterpiece, although a lot of that time was spent standin around. And no one died, which is amazing. Every year, more than 2 million people visit this landmark, which is way more than double this whole state’s population. It’s a national treasure, Mt. Rushmore is, and it’s what this state is known for most of all.

But South Dakota has a lot of other cool stuff, too. And it’s pretty misunderstood, or not understood at all. From the outside you might think South Dakota seems like a strange place. Who are these mysterious people? What do they do? Where do they live? How many are in their species? Are they farmers? Do they have plumbing?

If South Dakota’s been on your mind lately, or you think you might even move here one day, well, then, you should know what yer getting yourself into, mister. Cause it’s no joke when it comes to outdoors, weather and politics. Where you live will define your experience here. So, we should explore the state from top to bottom, and west to east and see what this vast state is all about.

This is South Dakota.

Now you COULD divide south Dakota into different ways I suppose. But there’s no BETTER way than to divide the state up like this. The west side of the river and the east side of the river. And the river is the Missouri River which cuts just about right through the middle of this place. These two sides are very different from one another. If you moved here you’d be able to tell which side someone is simply from by the way they talk.

We’re going to begin our journey on the western side of the state. Or West River as they call it here.
