Here are the steps we are taking everyday, including in these videos: 😷Masks and face coverings. We wear these anytime we are near others outside and especially indoors. If we don’t have a mask on in a video, it’s 99% because there was no one around. ⏰ Exploring early. We normally start at sunrise anyway because of less crowds, but especially so with COVID. We have been starting our days before sunlight so we can limit our interactions. 🧼 Washing and sanitizing our hands, especially after touching anything outside of the van. 🚐 Being in the van 95% of the time when we’re not filming. The adventures we share are a small sliver of our lives. We are staying in the van all day everyday when working and the only time we leave is to do laundry, get gas, or go to the store. 6️⃣ Keeping our distance. We are trying to stay at least 6 ft from others, which truthfully isn’t always possible (and then we make sure we cover our face).
You guys got out early in the morning! I just hit up PureBean and Main Street Square on Saturday. :-D Thank you for showing off the lovely side of our city!
I never knew how much natural beauty there was in South Dakota until I watched your videos. Thanks for sharing. I would be so bad at guessing the presidents from across the street!
Rapid City actually is sister cities with Apolda in Germany! The high schools in the area have an exchange student program with Apolda and they have students go and stay at the other city and participate in one of their schools for about two weeks!
So cool to see a travel channel talking about SD...My husband and I visited for the first time this year and LOVED it! Y'all are giving us some great ideas for our trip back!!
Way back in the day, when I wore a younger man's clothes and I was in the service, I went to Rapid City on a temporary deployment. Unfortunately, I stayed on the base when I was there and never ventured out into the town. I now wish I had. It looks really nice. Thanks for sharing.
Both of you and your Channel are outstanding. Storytelling, videography, audio, music, editing and natural camera presence, without being boring or over the top. Pleasure to watch. Unscripted and educational. Rare to see this combination of skills. I assume this is just a crew of two. But the production quality looks much bigger. Well done. First time watching tonight. I will watch them all now. There is a lot a crap on TH-cam and that’s ok. But your Channel looks professional. Breath of fresh air. Thanks for not wasting my time
Hi Jeff, thank you so much for the kind words! It really means a lot! We try our hardest to make the best videos we can with a mix of education and entertainment. We appreciate you watching!
That artwork was beautiful...I’m always so amazed by people’s talent! I loved the craftsmanship of the Norway chapel...just wow! I also was quite impressed with Adam’s knowledge of guessing the presidents! I could have started drooling watching ya’ll eating the yummy Indian food! Rapid City sure is a very cool and diverse place to visit!
Wow, another amazing video, such rich colors that pop out on the screen! I can see this being a weekly show on the Travel Channel! Thank you for taking us along on your adventures,
I don't usually comment on videos, but I want to say THANK YOU to both of you! My boyfriend and I just came across this video a few weeks ago and we've been binge-watching ALL your vlogs since then! We even paused watching the Netflix shows that we've been binge-watching because your vlogs are way more entertaining! :) We are in a long-distance relationship and seeing your travel vlogs give us a lot of hope that someday we can also visit these places together. These are very helpful! THANK YOU!
Thank you sooooo much Irick for commenting, this means the world to us to hear! ❤️ We are so happy y’all enjoy the vlogs and we hope that y’all can travel together soon! Long distance is brutal (we did it at the very beginning of our relationship), but it’s totally worth it. 🥰
What a cool little town! That chapel was gorgeous and it was interesting to see the statues of the Presidents all around town. Didn't look like a very busy area, maybe it was early but you had the streets to yourselves! Thanks for another great video!!
Because of COVID, it's definitely not as active, but a year or so ago before COVID, you'd be surprised at how many cars filled the sides of the roads and parking lots in Main Street Square in the summertime, it's almost unbelievable.
Very unique and interesting looks at Rapid City, SD! Cool seeing the president statues, the Norwegian church moved there from Norway, and your continuing eating adventures! Definitely looking forward to your Badlands NP visit!
I watched 📺 the Astronauts Walk on the Moon in Rapid City as a child on a big family road trip from California across the top northern states. Great memories.🥰
Have to make your way over to wall drug and the badlands. It’s truly something else. I’ve lived here for years and still every time I go I’m amazed. And there are gorgeous sunflower fields on the way. 10/10
Loving your South Dakota vlogs! Looking forward to seeing what you did in the Badlands. We are headed there next weekend so probably won't see the video until after we have been there but it will be fun to compare our experiences to yours!
I used to live here and you guys make me miss it! You guys put in so much work and I hope you really are living your best life! Your videos are a wonderful slice of what's out there!
Leaving for Badlands and Black Hills Forest tomorrow, so I was so excited to see your videos pop up on my feed today! Thank you! Also the food looked AMAZING!
Adventures of A plus K Adventures of A plus K thank you! Made it to Sioux Falls yesterday! Off to badlands today! Watched your other videos as well! Definitely subscribing! ♥️
I was just at the Black Hills area and watched your videos. You guys were our tour guides! We even bought food at Everest Cuisine based on this video. I stopped at the Dignity Statue based on your video too. Without it, I would have driven right by and missed seeing this amazing statue. Keep up the great work!
Cool City and potential home base for exploring the area :) Adam, impressive Prez knowledge my man! Can't wait fir the next adventure. Much love to you both...and Kona
I had no idea we had a stave church here in America so imagine my amazement when you guys showed that breathtaking view of the Chapel in the Hills. Thanks for sharing!
Very cool! Love your enthusiasm! Will be staying with our friend in Rapid City so hopefully we'll get to see some of these city sights as well. Enjoying the food part of the vlogs too. Great variety!
Are you guys planning on stopping in Sioux Falls, SD!!? I’ve lived here all my life and still haven’t heard of most of these attractions! Makes a good list for next time I’m in west river!
As many times as we have been to Custer and the badlands, we have never visited Rapid City! Can't believe that! You can be sure the next time we go through the area we will take some time to check it out! Loved the places that you found there and will put them on our list for next time. Thanks!
I really enjoyed the video. I recently put the house on the market and moved onto a older Prevost Liberty Coach. When the house is sold, I'll be on the road. I domicile in Box Elder SD, just East of Rapid City. I've been across the state, twice, and love it. Thanks for the video.
The alley looks like an up and coming Freak Alley like the one here in Boise, which is always great walking through to see something I missed. Rapid City looks great, will have to add that as a stop when we make it to SD. Now I am hungry for some Indian Food 🍽
I absolutely LOVE this series. I live in Minnecrapolis and I have a few days off. I was going to run out to Colorado, but it's just a little too far for the amount of time that I have off, so I think I am going to head out to South Dakota tomorrow for a few days and you have given me SO many great ideas. Thanks!
AK You're my inspiration! I think I just discovered your channel 2 or 3 weeks ago. I have watched some of your previous videos already and I love it! And I wanna watch more of your videos guys! I got my notification Bell so I am updated of your new vlog! Hello from NC USA!
@@AdventuresofAplusK There are ATV and bike trails in the black hills forest off Nemo road. You guys should check it out, there's nothing like seeing the sunset from the cliff.
Revisiting your SD playlist ... we're heading their in the 1st half of thos October! We were wondering if you care to comment on the camera / drone equipment you use in your vids? Awesome content as usual! Thanks for posting!
I live in Rapid City and I think it It’s so cool that you came here! There are not many videos about Rapid City and it is fun to see it from somebody else’s perspective! I have lived here my whole life and I absolutely love it and if you ever come here again I definitely recommend going to a little town called Nemo! I love this video I thought it was so cool
Thank you so much for the kind words Teagan! We are glad you enjoyed the video! We really enjoyed your city and will definitely check out Nemo next time, thank you!
Adventures of A plus K We hiked Little Devils Tower and stayed at Sylvan Lake. Loved Custer State Park. Badlands is so amazing - hiked Castle Trail, Notch, Door/Windows. Falls Park in Sioux Falls is cool - and Ingalls Homestead in DeSmet was really fun fir the kids!
Love that city got a European look to it 👍 the curries looked good I love curry it’s like our McDonald’s here in the U.K. one on every corner lol great job guys 👏👏👏
Part of the whole German wall connection 20 minutes north of rapid is Ft. Meade VA Hospital, but it was a calvary Ft. Back at the previous turn of the century up through WW2, during that war it was an internment camp for German soldiers. It is also right next to Bear Butte a native ceremonial site, and Sturgis the motorcycle rally fame, and centennial trail starts out there for a hard core hiking or mountain biking experience it is close 120 miles and doubt many could do it in one day on mountain bike.
@@AdventuresofAplusK glad you had a good time in the hills. I still remember when devils bathtub was a northern hills secret (cause I am old). First time I went i was about 10 in the very late 70s the water was about 12 ft deep and could dive off the higher cliffs. Or if you had been drinking bounce from cliff to cliff until you hit water hopefully. It filled with rocks about 15 years ago when a large Boulder got stuck in The slide.
Great video. I've been to Rapid City a number of times, but I was young, and a. I didn't care about some of this stuff, and b. some things have changed. I have been to that Norwegian chapel, and that is really cool. I sometimes get it mixed up with the smaller version in Epcot center. That Indian food looked off the CHAIN. And the game of presidents y'all were playing was so cool. As a fellow videographer, I'm curious, what time do y'all get up in the morning to capture some of these shots with no body there?
The Indian food was off the chain! Soooo good! And the presidents game is very fun-highly recommend it to test your presidential smarts! We typically start shooting right before sunrise to beat the crowds (and on this day, beat the heat). For this day I think it was around 6 AM 😬😴 It’s worth it though!
@@AdventuresofAplusK We really appreciate that y'all respond to comments, Y'all feel like a big time channel, but you are cool and still talk to all the people. Thank you.
We love chatting with everyone! It’s something we really want to keep doing even as this channel grows. It means the world to us that anyone would watch our videos! 🥰
Hello from Los Angeles! Just want to comment on Indian lunch buffet, you pay a fee and it is all you can eat with different types of curries and other side dishes like naan, rice, dessert, salad..... usually the only thing not included is mango lassi :) Highly recommend it when restaurants can do dine in safely again!
@@AdventuresofAplusK I was born there and spent all my summers and Christmases there till i joined the Army. It is the hidden jems you should see. Like the overlook at the RV campground right outside Rapid city on the 4th of July, the drive through the pigtails heading toward trout haven where all the cabins are, the wildflowers blooming in spring thaw heading out toward Mt Rushmore. But also the museums in Rapid, the Lakota and the journey museum or just walking in storybook island for the memories of the stories told to us as kids if you head south from there got toward Hot Springs the mountain views are breathtaking
do you also know one of the most haunted hotels is right in downtown Rapid and right off that you will graffiti ally where people can show their artwork. And I love Black hills Bagel kind of biased my brother makes the bagels
Been living in SD for all my life so far (which isn't long?). Main Street Square, Hill City, and especially Spearfish are some of my favorite places to go to. Though people-wise, you either meet some fantastic people, or the exact opposite, which can be kind of sad.
My wife and I just got back from Rapid yesterday. It was fun having breakfast at Dinosaur Park because you can see the city from above. I didn't get to see the art alley, we have something similar in Idaho Falls.
4:52 This is a Dakota floral design! You were in Lakota territory which is super awesome! You'll have to come back here for the Black Hills Powwow in October!
Enjoy all your episodes. You guys are awesome! If you haven’t already, check out the finger lakes portion of New York, lots of waterfalls and beautiful hikes. My favorite is Watkins Glen State Park!
Loved the video. My husband and I was married at the Chapil in the Hills back in 2010. I love it there. Did you do the prayer walk? It's so peaceful. Cayon Lake Park which is close to it is pretty as well.
Hello Adam and Kathryn! I recently started watching your videos and I am already addicted to it. I am from India, and I am happy to see that you ate Indian food. Thankyou for the wonderful videos. My husband and I get a lot of ideas from your videos to travel in the US. We too like to visit national parks!
Hi Jagriti! We LOVE Indian food, it's one of our favorites! What is your favorite dish? We're always looking to try new things! Thanks so much for watching our videos, we are so happy we can give you some ideas!
Hi and bye from someone that has lived in rapid for most of my life! Glad you enjoyed it! I love the channel and the way you guys live, and I hope to do something similar once I have my van completed Edit, you may have met my sister, one of the managers at pure bean coffee house!
Ahhh nice! There was a female working when we were there and she was very nice (not sure if that was her or not). Good luck on your van, that is awesome!
Wow I didn't expect to see those traditional buildings from Norway, historical pieces from Germany and yummy looking food from Everest in SD!! So international! now I have to go to the Trader Joe's and buy some curry. haha. Happy Traveling :)
I just moved from there after living in the area for 2 years. If you go back you have to do little devils tower hike it’s so beautiful, and if you love ice cream stop in at silver lining creamery 😁 but especially for a photographer it’s a beautiful place to live and visit even in the winter
Adventures of A plus K If you can make it make it out here to Guam or St. Louis Missouri I’m really bias but good luck on the rest of your adventures I love your channel 😅
Wow, you guys were pretty good at that game. My knowledge of your presidential history is terrible but I think I have an excuse. But if we had similar with our Prime Ministers or Monarch's, I'd fail miserably! I loved the painting that was Adam's favourite too, but I liked how they'd taken inspiration for the orange moons from the cap on whatever that thing was stuck on the wall. Loved seeing a few bits and pieces from Berlin - that city's history fascinates me. I've jumped on our history department's trip taking students over there for the last couple of years (but obviously it's not happening this year) and it's just so mind boggling what happened when the city was divided into two! Can not wait for Badlands next episode, hoping it will bring back very distant memories for me ❤️
Adam was MUCH better at the game than me lol! I used to know a song where you sang all of the president's names in order , but I can't remember it anymore! How cool to take students over there! We have heard that Berlin is such a fun city to visit and we hope to make it out there someday!

We are so happy you enjoyed it! We loved South Dakota!
I am not sure the locals would want us sharing that lol! But we love finding off the beaten path spots!
How did yall not visit reptile gardens?!!
As as someone born and raised in Rapid. This made me super happy.
Yay we are so glad, thanks for watching! 🥰
Me too :)
I was born in rapid city but moved 3-4 hours away! This is awesome! 🙌🏽💜
Yeah I have lived here all my life and this was really cool
Same man, till CA's ruin it.
I live in Rapid and it's always a delight seeing the city through someone else's perspective.
We really enjoyed your city! 😃
I feel the same!
I live in hill city. Hello neighbor
@@AdventuresofAplusK I'm glad. :)
@@brockdoesyoutubev254 Hey neighbor. :D
This is where I live. Took my prom pics in art alley. It’s cool because you never see the same art twice because it’s constantly being painted over.
I bet those were cool prom pics! We love these mural alleys in cities for that reason-it’ll be a new experience next time!
I have been in rapid city all my life and it makes my day knowing someone is appreciating our amazing city.
Aw yay! We’re glad to hear that! ❤️
I am in SD right now. Best state ever!!
I’m have also been born and raised in Rapid City and this was cool to see what others thought about our “boring” city
We really enjoyed it!
Boring is good in today's world
I never knew how much natural beauty there was in South Dakota until I watched your videos. Thanks for sharing. I would be so bad at guessing the presidents from across the street!
We are so happy to share the beauty with you! And Adam was pretty good at it...me not so much lol! I only knew the super obvious ones haha
It’s not so bad here once you experience all of the things our beautiful hills and lakes have. Happy to see our little happy city brought to light.
We loved it! A very cool and beautiful area!
Rapid City actually is sister cities with Apolda in Germany! The high schools in the area have an exchange student program with Apolda and they have students go and stay at the other city and participate in one of their schools for about two weeks!
Wow that is really cool, we had no idea! 😱
Its mainly box elder thats the sister town. My sister went on that. But box is right outside of rapid.
GuthanNight box elder may be included. I know that we have an Apolda Street in town and they have a Rapid City Straße in Apolda
I am from Apolda! I was in Rapid City in fall 2018. I was amazing ! I love the program.
And we hosted some students from Rapid in summer 2019. It was a great time.
So cool to see a travel channel talking about SD...My husband and I visited for the first time this year and LOVED it! Y'all are giving us some great ideas for our trip back!!
We loved SD soooo much! So happy you did too! 🙌🏼❤️
Way back in the day, when I wore a younger man's clothes and I was in the service, I went to Rapid City on a temporary deployment. Unfortunately, I stayed on the base when I was there and never ventured out into the town. I now wish I had. It looks really nice. Thanks for sharing.
We hope you can make it back there someday! Quite a few unique things to do nearby!
Imagine scrolling and seeing your hometown just pop up out of nowhere
Woo! Happy to share your home 😄
I’m from Rapid City and still live here! Love seeing other people’s excitement!
Yay! It was a fun day!
Does everyone dress the same in the area?
I've lived in Rapid my whole life and I love seeing this 🥺
🤗🤗🤗
Planning a trip there in July. Can you recommend Yosemite, Boseman or Billings while there? Or somewhere else?
@@Pinchshot39 honestly Billings isn't anything special itself the area around it is beautiful
We love Rapid City. There is a store there called Prairies Edge. It is beautiful.
Oooo we will have to check that out next time! Thank you!
Living in Oklahoma, being a rapid city native makes me happy to see people enjoying it. Heck yeah south dakota
South Dakota rocks!

Visiting Rapid City very soon so THANK YOU-THANK YOU-THANK YOU for introducing me to Everest Cuisine!!! That looked so GUUUUD!!!
I went there in 2017. I loved all the presidents. Always enjoy your videos.
They were very fun for us to try to guess!
Great video! So much fun to watch you experience our city, you two did a great job sharing!
Thank you so much! You have an awesome city! 🙌🏼🤗
Moved here from the outer banks in N.C. four months ago and I love this city. It’s beautiful and I love the history.
Wow that’s a huge difference in scenery!
Wow, another amazing video, such rich colors that pop out on the screen! I can see this being a weekly show on the Travel Channel! Thank you for taking us along on your adventures,

The Badlands video will be up Thursday, so we hope it can help you before we go! Make sure you do the Notch trail, it was our favorite 😄
Another great example of going somewhere you might not necessarily think of!! Enjoyed 😊🍁
Your curry looked delicious!😊🍁
We love visiting places that we didn’t really think to visit before! The curry was the bomb, we loved it so much!
Super cool! Thanks for the shout out at Pure Bean! I'm glad you enjoyed your trip and your coffee. Great video!

I love your energy and the fact that you always find positive things to say. Liked and subbed. Keep up the great videos.
Thanks Micheal! We believe there is something great about every place we visit!
Thanks for mentioning Freak Alley in Boise. Heading to ND and SD this fall from Boise and will look for that area you mentioned, Art Alley.
Leaving for Badlands and Black Hills Forest tomorrow, so I was so excited to see your videos pop up on my feed today! Thank you! Also the food looked AMAZING!
Yessss! So happy we had good timing for your trip. Have an amazing time!

We are so happy to hear that! 🙌
I had no idea we had a stave church here in America so imagine my amazement when you guys showed that breathtaking view of the Chapel in the Hills. Thanks for sharing!

I wasn’t born in South Dakota but I am very happy a TH-camr finally made a video and when to such a sail sate.👍🏻
It was a fun state!

Very cool! Love your enthusiasm! Will be staying with our friend in Rapid City so hopefully we'll get to see some of these city sights as well. Enjoying the food part of the vlogs too. Great variety!
I’m sure your friend has tons of awesome spots that us tourists don’t even know about too!
Are you guys planning on stopping in Sioux Falls, SD!!? I’ve lived here all my life and still haven’t heard of most of these attractions! Makes a good list for next time I’m in west river!
We did! That’ll be our final SD vlog in a week and a half! Hopefully we will have done a good job filming your city 🤞🏼

Thanks for the video, I am looking forward to what you show us in the Badlands.
Very excited to share the Badlands! 🙌🏼
Very cool! I grew up in Rapid. Now I am in Spearfish, Lawrence County.

We loved Freak Alley in Boise! They definitely were similar! 🙌🏼🎨
I absolutely LOVE this series. I live in Minnecrapolis and I have a few days off. I was going to run out to Colorado, but it's just a little too far for the amount of time that I have off, so I think I am going to head out to South Dakota tomorrow for a few days and you have given me SO many great ideas. Thanks!
We are so happy to hear that! SD is soooo beautiful!
AK You're my inspiration! I think I just discovered your channel 2 or 3 weeks ago. I have watched some of your previous videos already and I love it! And I wanna watch more of your videos guys! I got my notification Bell so I am updated of your new vlog! Hello from NC USA!
Thank you so much for watching and the support! ❤️❤️
Met and married my wife there 15 years ago! Amazing place and even more amazing people.
What a cool place to get married!
@@AdventuresofAplusK There are ATV and bike trails in the black hills forest off Nemo road. You guys should check it out, there's nothing like seeing the sunset from the cliff.
Revisiting your SD playlist ... we're heading their in the 1st half of thos October!
We were wondering if you care to comment on the camera / drone equipment you use in your vids?
Awesome content as usual! Thanks for posting!
Hi! We have that all linked here: adventuresofaplusk.com/resources/
Thanks for watching!
This looks amazing. Subscribed!
Thanks David! It was a blast!
I live in Rapid City, I brought my bf up from Oklahoma. And my friend and I showed him Rapid City.
What are your favorite spots?
I live in rapid right now and you guys have done more stuff than me here already
Hopefully we gave you a couple ideas!
Props to you guys for somehow managing to be awake for so many sunrises.
It’s so worth it to enjoy things without crowds (which also makes filming a LOT easier) 😄
I live in Rapid City as well! Thanks for passing through, hope you enjoyed!
We sure did! 🥰
I live in Rapid City and I think it It’s so cool that you came here! There are not many videos about Rapid City and it is fun to see it from somebody else’s perspective! I have lived here my whole life and I absolutely love it and if you ever come here again I definitely recommend going to a little town called Nemo! I love this video I thought it was so cool
Thank you so much for the kind words Teagan! We are glad you enjoyed the video! We really enjoyed your city and will definitely check out Nemo next time, thank you!
Another in a line of great vlogs. Watched you two before my dinner and I got the hungry horrors. lol Have fun, stay healthy and safe!
Lol the hungry horrors! We may have to steal that phrase! 🤣
Hey my uncle lives in Rapid City. That Indian food looked delicious!
The building that was in the beginning shot was hookey jacks. My mom used to work there and it’s so haunted.
Oooo that’s creepy and cool!
Can you visit Hookey Jacks? Like tours?
hotel alex johnson?
@@asedano72 I don’t think so
@@kaitlynnprentice5389 no the one with the flag on it. They are standing in front of it.
Love watching your recent videos. Our family visited this area in July for six nights. It’s great to revisit some of the same places with you!
That is awesome! What were some of your favorite spots?
Adventures of A plus K We hiked Little Devils Tower and stayed at Sylvan Lake. Loved Custer State Park. Badlands is so amazing - hiked Castle Trail, Notch, Door/Windows. Falls Park in Sioux Falls is cool - and Ingalls Homestead in DeSmet was really fun fir the kids!
Check out our hike to Little Devils Tower th-cam.com/video/lN-mSavCCj8/w-d-xo.html
Castle Trail at Badlands will be up soon.
We visited quite a few of those spots and loved them! We didn’t make it to Little Devils Tower it Ingalls Homestead, but will have to next time!
Well this was fun! My favorite couple comes through again...so many cute moments! The Indian food looked amazing!!! Bring on the Badlands! 😍😃🤗😄😁😆
Yay! So happy you enjoyed it Brad! The food was soooo good!
Good Morning everyone. Beautiful video interesting, inspiring...Thank you very much.
❤️❤️
You guys are awesome. You deserve more subscribers.
Thanks for the kind words! Super grateful for those who follow along 😄
I agree!!
❤️❤️❤️ thanks for all the love!
Love that city got a European look to it 👍 the curries looked good I love curry it’s like our McDonald’s here in the U.K. one on every corner lol great job guys 👏👏👏
The best Indian food we have ever had was in London! Sooo good!
That chapel reminds me of Norway in EPCOT! Rapid City looks like a really cute town!
That’s what a few people have said and now we gotta go back to Disney to see it at EPCOT!
If you are still in Rapid you should go for a drive on skyline drive!
Aw man, we’re not, but we definitely will next time! Thank you so much for the tip!
Next time on your trip you should go take a drive up to dinosaur park! (A little scary, but worth the view when you get up there!) ❤️
Part of the whole German wall connection 20 minutes north of rapid is Ft. Meade VA Hospital, but it was a calvary Ft. Back at the previous turn of the century up through WW2, during that war it was an internment camp for German soldiers. It is also right next to Bear Butte a native ceremonial site, and Sturgis the motorcycle rally fame, and centennial trail starts out there for a hard core hiking or mountain biking experience it is close 120 miles and doubt many could do it in one day on mountain bike.
We didn't know that! Thank you so much for sharing some of the history!
@@AdventuresofAplusK glad you had a good time in the hills. I still remember when devils bathtub was a northern hills secret (cause I am old). First time I went i was about 10 in the very late 70s the water was about 12 ft deep and could dive off the higher cliffs. Or if you had been drinking bounce from cliff to cliff until you hit water hopefully. It filled with rocks about 15 years ago when a large Boulder got stuck in The slide.
Great video. I've been to Rapid City a number of times, but I was young, and a. I didn't care about some of this stuff, and b. some things have changed. I have been to that Norwegian chapel, and that is really cool. I sometimes get it mixed up with the smaller version in Epcot center. That Indian food looked off the CHAIN. And the game of presidents y'all were playing was so cool. As a fellow videographer, I'm curious, what time do y'all get up in the morning to capture some of these shots with no body there?
The Indian food was off the chain! Soooo good! And the presidents game is very fun-highly recommend it to test your presidential smarts! We typically start shooting right before sunrise to beat the crowds (and on this day, beat the heat). For this day I think it was around 6 AM 😬😴 It’s worth it though!
@@AdventuresofAplusK We really appreciate that y'all respond to comments, Y'all feel like a big time channel, but you are cool and still talk to all the people. Thank you.
We love chatting with everyone! It’s something we really want to keep doing even as this channel grows. It means the world to us that anyone would watch our videos! 🥰
Hello from Los Angeles! Just want to comment on Indian lunch buffet, you pay a fee and it is all you can eat with different types of curries and other side dishes like naan, rice, dessert, salad..... usually the only thing not included is mango lassi :) Highly recommend it when restaurants can do dine in safely again!
Oh my gosh! The dream!!! And we LOVE mango lassi! Thank you for letting us (and others reading) know how it works 🙌🏼
My wife and I were actually married at the Chapel in the Hills and my in-laws were married there 25 years prior to us. Special place for the family
That is so amazing! 🥰
I am so glad you guys made this stop makes me homesick but beautiful
❤️❤️ What are some of your favorite spots in Rapid City?
@@AdventuresofAplusK I was born there and spent all my summers and Christmases there till i joined the Army. It is the hidden jems you should see. Like the overlook at the RV campground right outside Rapid city on the 4th of July, the drive through the pigtails heading toward trout haven where all the cabins are, the wildflowers blooming in spring thaw heading out toward Mt Rushmore. But also the museums in Rapid, the Lakota and the journey museum or just walking in storybook island for the memories of the stories told to us as kids
if you head south from there got toward Hot Springs the mountain views are breathtaking
do you also know one of the most haunted hotels is right in downtown Rapid and right off that you will graffiti ally where people can show their artwork. And I love Black hills Bagel kind of biased my brother makes the bagels
Ooo you’re giving us some great ideas for our next trip! Thank you!
Been living in SD for all my life so far (which isn't long?). Main Street Square, Hill City, and especially Spearfish are some of my favorite places to go to.
Though people-wise, you either meet some fantastic people, or the exact opposite, which can be kind of sad.
That’s awesome! And we find that tends to be the case anywhere we go, but thankfully we only met nice folks in SD!
My wife and I just got back from Rapid yesterday. It was fun having breakfast at Dinosaur Park because you can see the city from above. I didn't get to see the art alley, we have something similar in Idaho Falls.
Ooo they have a restaurant up there?
@@AdventuresofAplusK They sell hot dogs and snacks in the gift store. We took breakfast up there and ate on a bench next to the dinosaurs.
That sounds super fun!
OMG my mouth was watering with the Indian food & I could smell that garlic naan🤤 Another great city video guys🤩Who knew SD had so much to offer😃
We neeeeeed more of than Indian food in our life! 😍😍😍
4:52 This is a Dakota floral design! You were in Lakota territory which is super awesome! You'll have to come back here for the Black Hills Powwow in October!
Ooo nice! It is beautiful!
Chapel in the Hills ..... Amazing 🤩🤩
Isn’t it beautiful?! 😍
Enjoy all your episodes. You guys are awesome! If you haven’t already, check out the finger lakes portion of New York, lots of waterfalls and beautiful hikes. My favorite is Watkins Glen State Park!
We realllllyyyy want to go there! 😍
I hope you guys had a great time up here I know I love it
We absolutely did! We loved it!
Loved the video. My husband and I was married at the Chapil in the Hills back in 2010. I love it there. Did you do the prayer walk? It's so peaceful. Cayon Lake Park which is close to it is pretty as well.
That is awesome! What a gorgeous place to get married. And we did part of the walk and it was very beautiful and serene 🤗
I live in rapid and drive through downtown every day I wish I saw you guys
Aw man! Maybe next time!
Hello Adam and Kathryn! I recently started watching your videos and I am already addicted to it. I am from India, and I am happy to see that you ate Indian food. Thankyou for the wonderful videos. My husband and I get a lot of ideas from your videos to travel in the US. We too like to visit national parks!
Hi Jagriti! We LOVE Indian food, it's one of our favorites! What is your favorite dish? We're always looking to try new things! Thanks so much for watching our videos, we are so happy we can give you some ideas!
@@AdventuresofAplusK if you get a chance to try biryani just go for it. Also, try samosa.
Both sound amazing, we definitely will next time we can find a solid spot!
Raised in custer my whole life its crazy seeing something about South dakota on TH-cam lol
It’s an awesome place! 🙌🏼
Hi and bye from someone that has lived in rapid for most of my life! Glad you enjoyed it! I love the channel and the way you guys live, and I hope to do something similar once I have my van completed
Edit, you may have met my sister, one of the managers at pure bean coffee house!
Ahhh nice! There was a female working when we were there and she was very nice (not sure if that was her or not). Good luck on your van, that is awesome!
Wow I didn't expect to see those traditional buildings from Norway, historical pieces from Germany and yummy looking food from Everest in SD!! So international! now I have to go to the Trader Joe's and buy some curry. haha. Happy Traveling :)
Dooo it! we need to try to recreate the lamb curry in the van. It was incredible! 😋
Great video, ready to plan my trip to South Dakota 👌🏻
Thank you! South Dakota is so beautiful and fun!
I just moved from there after living in the area for 2 years. If you go back you have to do little devils tower hike it’s so beautiful, and if you love ice cream stop in at silver lining creamery 😁 but especially for a photographer it’s a beautiful place to live and visit even in the winter
We will 100% check those out next time! We love hiking and ice cream 😋
Adventures of A plus K If you can make it make it out here to Guam or St. Louis Missouri I’m really bias but good luck on the rest of your adventures I love your channel 😅
Thank you so much Austin! We may be heading to St. Louis later this year!
We are blessed in the Hills to have Everest. I’ve had Indian in a lot of different cities, but Everest is one of the best.
That’s awesome to know! We thought it was super delicious!
We are sitting at Everest Cuisine right now, waiting on our food. Thanks for the recommendation.
Yay! We hope you enjoy it!
Another great video!
Thank you so much, so happy you enjoyed it!
that is a beautiful chapel,Oh yummy! food, Looks amazing , Very nice take care friends
Thank you so much for watching! 😄
Wow, you guys were pretty good at that game. My knowledge of your presidential history is terrible but I think I have an excuse. But if we had similar with our Prime Ministers or Monarch's, I'd fail miserably! I loved the painting that was Adam's favourite too, but I liked how they'd taken inspiration for the orange moons from the cap on whatever that thing was stuck on the wall. Loved seeing a few bits and pieces from Berlin - that city's history fascinates me. I've jumped on our history department's trip taking students over there for the last couple of years (but obviously it's not happening this year) and it's just so mind boggling what happened when the city was divided into two! Can not wait for Badlands next episode, hoping it will bring back very distant memories for me ❤️
Adam was MUCH better at the game than me lol! I used to know a song where you sang all of the president's names in order , but I can't remember it anymore! How cool to take students over there! We have heard that Berlin is such a fun city to visit and we hope to make it out there someday!
