12 Reasons You Should Avoid South Dakota

Picture

The Wide Open Spaces of South Dakota

 
There are plenty of reasons you should avoid South Dakota. As a resident of the state, I’d like you to take this list seriously, and prepare should you still make plans to visit.

  • There’s only 10.7 people per square mile making it the 46th most populous state, and you don’t want to meet that 7/10 of a person. It’s not pretty.
  • Big box stores don’t really exist here. It can be a shoppers nightmare, forcing them to only choose from handmade crafts and goods.
  • The vast tracts of forest and land often don’t have internet. Most children hate the prospect of No-G.
  • The Black Hills Gold Rush is over. You could spend all day panning, and see more fish, birds and wildlife than flakes of gold.
  • It’s extremely casual. There aren’t many opportunities to spiff up.
  • You could get lost in a cave. Wind Cave and Jewel Cave are some of the longest and oldest in the world. They haven’t even electrified them yet.
  • The silence is deafening. Imagine being left with only your own thoughts.
  • Even fluffy cows here can be aggressive, and you’re not allowed to hand feed them.
  • Many places are only accessible by hiking trail, forcing you to walk.
  • Eye contact can lead to conversations with people and that makes some downright uncomfortable.
  • Giant Black Hills result in winding roads with knee-knocking overlooks.
  • Monuments come out of nowhere.
 
 As you can see visiting South Dakota isn’t for everyone. If you still feel like it might be worth your while, you can proceed.
