SD Flyover Country?

S. Dakota to mark I-90 in odd way

The Chief often takes exception to the Argus’s Dave Kranz, but this observation of a wierd event is truly justifed.

How do you commemorate the anniversary of an interstate highway? That has some people curious about Monday’s marking of the 50th anniversary of President Eisenhower signing the Federal-Aid Highway Act. That certainly means a celebration in South Dakota, but what they have planned is a bit strange.

Key transportation personnel will travel from Sioux Falls to Rapid City as part of the observation.

Now the strange part. Travel Interstate 90?

Nope. They will travel by airplane.

Sort of remninds the Chief of something from Monty Python, or National Lampoon.
