Day 5:
After breakfast we leave Sioux Falls and travel to Murdo, SD for a visit to the famous Auto Museum.  The Pioneer Auto Show was started in 1954 by AJ ‘Dick’ Geisler and his family. Since then, the Pioneer Auto Museum (as it was known back then) and Dick have been a single thought in the minds of the thousands of antique and classic car enthusiasts who have visited, and met the man with the ever-present cigar.  Today, the high-volume Interstate 90 attraction features not only classic cars and tractors but also hundreds of other collectibles from vintage gas pumps and bicycles to antique toys. Dave, Dick’s son, greets you at the door with a big smile and cordial welcome, taking time to show customers various displays and to talk about antique cars and new times.  Lunch today will be in the closely situated classic 1950’s diner.  After lunch we will continue on to the Black Hills via Wall Drug.
