South Dakotans touring to Mime
apolis and st. Paul will find that the
best route is to go straight east over
the Black and Yellow trail to Man
kato and from there north by either
the Daniel Boone highway to Mime
apolis. or by the Scenic Lake route
and the Jefferson highway to st. Paul.
South Dakotans who have gone other
ways and returned over the route
via Mankato are enthusiastic over the
latter way. The fact that the B and
Y. trail is in such excellent condi-
ton as is also the routes from Man
kato to the Twin Cities make this
journey by auto very popular. B. and
Y. headquarters in Huron are sup
piled with maps and information re.
garding tours.
