I relocated from Santa Barbara/Ventura to Sioux Falls. I freakin LOVE South Dakota!! I love the people, the sense of community, virtually NO traffic, the politics, the tax structure, etc etc etc. As a outdoor adventurist, SD offers so much (except for the ocean, of course). I’ll miss surfing daily, but I can always visit my home state of California when I need that fix. Are the winters brutal? Can be. Are the summers hot and humid? Can be. But again, I’ve been loving this state and especially Sioux Falls. Absolutely zero complaints from me ❤️🥰

My Dad and I went through South Dakota in the mid 90’s coming home from a trip to Colorado. It was a beautiful state to see. We stopped in Mt. Rushmore but we literally stood there for about a minute, took some pics, turned around and left. The Badlands on the other hand, were awesome! We had a great time driving around through there and seeing the wildlife. One of my favorite funny memories of it was stopping in an XKOA campground in Rapid City and I was this shy, quiet, awkward, kid and a couple of different girls had came up to me and started talking to me but I was so shy and afraid to talk to girls so it was short lived. Still a good time, nonetheless. Would love to go back sometime.

I love South Dakota. The black hills area is so gorgeous to me. My favorite town to visit was Custer. Also really liked Spearfish and Deadwood. I really enjoyed Crazy Horse memorial. I skipped Rushmore altogether. I could totally live out there. The land alone is special.

When talking about Mount Rushmore Theodore Roosevelt was the one to have the National Park founded just like the other ones. So he deserves the credit.

The best houses I think are on the east side where a lot are being built. The city has four public high schools, all named by the four presidents on Mount Rushmore, which is neat.

As a European travelling around America, I really like West South Dakota. Lots to see and do. Very friendly people. Spearfish was one of the nicest places to tour around. Mount Rushmore is very impressive when you're actually there. Chief Sitting Bull even more so. I nearly got bitten by a rattle snack in The Badlands, so I would wear cowboy boots ( it was in grass just beside a well walked trail )

I personally know the family as I lived in Custer SD for many years and they blow all the money on mostly cocaine and (str||pperz) I can confirm the monument will not change for at least another 3 centuries. You can read many articles online that talk about the controversies but I know the owners personally and it's much, much worse than the people believe.

Nick interviewing Jordan really put on the acting and got into character with that hat and real genuine mustache. Yeehaw Nick 🤠 !!!

Great video Nick , we have been going to SD for many years for holidays, weekends , family getaways etc. Anything or any reason to get outta ND. Lol. Hill city and Custer are just a short ways away from Rapid and are super nice cozy lil mountain towns , there is a really great place in hill city called Newton Fork Ranch and they have super nice cabins for rent year around. LMFAO!! On ur comment about being around in 2150 that the crazy horse crap might be finished. It hasn’t seemed to change much in the last 10 years and through social media and reviews etc everyone agrees its a tourist trap as they bend you over on parking and locals say the blasts you hear are mostly just for effects to seem like there doing something with all the donations and monies they get from unsuspecting tourists. Keep up the great work Nick.

I agree that Crazy Horse is a tourist trap. They don't have the cost of parking posted,..so,..once you get to the booth and realize you have been had,....it is too late. The museum inside is actually quite nice and took away some of the sting of getting ripped off. You can get all the views you need of the monument from outside the parking lot .And,...I agree it has looked the same for the last 10 years...and will still look the same in the next 30 years.

Jen you're so smart ❤️

I’ve lived in South Dakota (rapid city) my whole life. You did a great job with this video. It is beautiful here. Not sure id ever have chosen to live here had I not been born here, but it’s not a bad place.

That Martian ad is too much! Thanks for another great contribution to our knowledge of the states.

Dude. One of the most quality videos I've ever seen.

I was born in South Dakota so do not remember what it was like to live there because my family moved to Los Angeles when I was two. I do have many extremely fond wonderful memories of visiting my family who lived in East River in Yankton. These videos are totally awesome. Thank you for the wonderful tribute to a state full of people I love.

South Dakota is wonderful, even though I don't live there anymore.

​@@loralarose9615 What's that? You hope that this person who is clearly from east Serbia is European? You must have been top of your class

I work for the National Park Service at Mt Rushmore currently. I'm not from the state, I'm from Nevada, but the state is real nice if you live in the Black Hills area. Rapid City isn't too bad. It's pretty in some areas, but it's not terribly exciting.

The Black Hills isn’t the great and grand vistas of the Sierra Nevada or Cascade ranges but driving through Spearfish Canyon on that scenic highway is one of the most beautiful experiences in my life and I’ve been through all these great mountain ranges in my long lifetime. Early morning sunrise is my favorite time to travel it.

The "Meth, We're on it" will forever make be cry from laughter. Best thing about the state is there Advertisement team

Great video! Comment about Watertown - that's so true! Why are the houses so expensive, given they're big but why so expensive? Any insights?
