First stop was The Corn Palace. Our friends all said we should see this. :) It is interesting! They have concerts, sports, concerts, etc. there. All the artwork on the outside of the building is made of corn cobs and other corn parts. From what I understand this artwork changes every year. Inside you can get corn on the cob, pop corn, caramel corn, etc. at the refreshment stand. And in the gift shop you can buy just about anything in the world with a corn theme!
Then we were off to the Minuteman Missile Site. Very interesting. There are tours available of the actual silo, but we had opted to not even attempt that when we read that it was necessary to climb down and back up a thirty foot ladder. We are not stupid. And we accept what is. Neither one of us was going to be doing that.
And then we were off to the Badlands. First we had to stop and clean the windshield. There was a lot of insect activity and insect suicides on the road today! :) The Badlands are beautiful and awe inspiring. We saw some goats and some prairie dogs on the drive.
We made our way to Rapid City, SD to the Sleep Inn & Suites. Nice hotel, nice room. Tomorrow we will head to Mount Rushmore, The Chief Crazy Horse monument and to Little Big Horn Battlefield.
Stay safe! And God Bless this beautiful America!
