If you aren't pressed for time, select "avoid highways" on your navigation...

I've only lived here a few years but recently my wife has been learning to ride motorcycles and she isn't ready for highway riding yet so we've been taking longer trips on the side streets. I swear I've never so quickly understood how all the places I've been are connected and seen so many new things in SD than I have on these rides avoiding the highway.

I know all of us feel pressed for time but next time if you have some wiggle room in the schedule try mapping the route through side streets.
