We made it though Iowa into South Dakota and decided to stop and see the Corn Palace. A lot of people have told us we should see it. It is in Mitchell, South Dakota. It was well worth the stop. It is so amazing to see what can be done with different colored corn, grains and local "grasses". They totally redo the outside every year at a cost of around $130,000. They call it the world's largest birdfeeder because the birds just love to eat the corn!! LOL Admission is free, but they have a wonderful gift shop inside. Teeheehee We parked the RV in a special parking lot they have just for RV's and walked downtown for the tour. It was a HOT day. When we returned to the RV, it would not start. Merrell and Chuck worked and worked, but couldn't get it going, so they called a mechanic (we got RV towing insurance through Good Sam's Club before we left). It was late in the evening and they sent a tow truck, but they guy didn't know much, so said they would send someone out in the morning and we were just going to spend the night in the parking lot. Not a bit different than WalMart. Teeheehee Merrell and Chuck decided to work on it a while longer and being the wonderful mechanics they are :>) they got it running and we pulled out and went to an RV park for the night. We got up this morning and it was running fine, so we are on the road again and heading to Deadwood, South Dakota. We will be close to Mount Rushmore and several other sites we want to visit, so we may be there for a few days. That's about all of the excitement we had today (or actually yesterday, since I was too tired to post last night). Catch ya on the next go around!!
