Take the Ideal Road to Ideal and C&W Convenience Store

"IDEAL ROAD" to Ideal Village, C & W Convenience Store to Hiway 183.

The last publication of the South Dakota Map indicates a road from Hamill to Hiway 183. It is outdated and the road is dangerous as "pop up" hill has claimed a person's life.

The right road is to continue south about 5- miles and watch for the small "Ideal" sign on the right and follow this to the Stop sign and continue west to Hiway 183. Just head west and you "kant miss it, ole chap" It's a county graveled road and pheasants boom a welcome call.

As a S. D. legislator I successfully had this route placed on the S. D. Hiway system. Times changed and this route from Hamill to Winner was driven straight south towards Winner.
Later Tripp County Commissioners adopted this route as a Farm to Market Road. It is well maintained and safe route thru the Ideal suburbal area. In a jest it was named J-90 as the County Commissioner from Ideal was a J orgensen. In the final completion of the project it also honors a past Ideal County Commissioner "Butch Best" JB-90? This road is the last northern trail across Tripp County unless you row your boat on the big White River.

Beware, however, as you cross the Thunder Creek along the roadway suicide deer are a terror to avoid.
