And the wife wants to drive the Rv which she has never done!

We have been to that area of South Dakota, etc. several times. If you wanted to take a bit more time traveling...you could come across the corner of Arkansas into, Missouri then west to Springfiled...a nice drive...then up to KC on interestate...from KC....you can take I70 out to Salina, then north into Nebraska or I29 to Omaha then west to wherever you want to head north...you have a few options to cut across Nebraska...some decent 2 lane...no fantastic scenery..but will get you there.
If you want to go through Badlands enroute to Rapid City..you can do that too.
Enjoy !
