We left Clear Lake early this morning before the bicycle crowds started arriving. Our destination today was Mitchell, South Dakota. Ivan and I had an appointment to have an oil change on the motorhome, so Yvonne and Curt settled in at the campground ahead of us.
Our maintenance did not take long and we were only a couple of miles from the world’s only Corn Palace. Who knew? We have learned about so many interesting towns and attractions on this trip because of Yvonne and Curt. They met us at the Corn Palace which was originally built in 1892 and is known around the world as a folk-art wonder on the prairie of South Dakota. Each year a new decorating theme is chosen and the outside of the Corn Palace is stripped and redecorated with new corn and grains. Over a half million ears of corn are sawed in half and nailed to the building following pattern created by a local artist. Free admission, included a film of its history and a tour. The bag of popcorn was great too!
We have long been familiar with Cabela’s, famous outfitter for hunting, fishing and outdoor gear. Our kids in Florida are avid hunters, and though they have never visited Cabela’s, they think it’s awesome and frequently order from their catalog. They will visit vicariously through our pictures!
This was quite a long driving day and a busy one, so we were happy to settle in our campsite for the night.
