Jack,

I don't know where in SD you're planning to stay, but I flew into Brookings
(BKX) a few years ago in a Turbo Arrow, and got great service.  There's only
one FBO on the field, and they were very friendly, even towed my plane to a
parking spot with their tractor.  They have (or at least had) a flight
planning room with internet and weather, and you can get your clearance from
either the FSS or Approach (I forget which) while on the field using your
radios.  Brookings is a college town with most of the popular fast food
places and some family restaurants, and I hear they have a Super-Mega
Walmart now, so it's not as much of cow town as you might think (although
there are plenty of them in the surrounding areas).
