Corn corn corn. One of my old haunts was the Corn Palace. We got there and we found out they were “not quite” ready to receive visitors for the summer. So we walked through the workers trying to get the exhibits up and running. I did buy corn jam which I had never heard of (I think it is still in my fridge).
Next on the highway was the Mitchell Prehistoric Indian Village and Thomsen Center Archeodome. My son had just done an indian dig down in Southern Utah and so when we got to visit this area I thought of him digging for those items that belonged to a civilization so long ago.
Next stop lunch. Did I say I like lunch‼‼!
Bad lands, what a blast. As soon as we got off of the freeway Lee was all excited about showing us the U.S. Nuclear Missile silos. Unfortunately, we did “not quite” understand that we needed to call in advance since they only take a certain number of visitors down them a day. All that way and all we got was a bunch of jokes from the military.
But the Bad Lands themselves were beautiful. We got there just prior to it storming on us, the skies had changed some of the rock formations to beautiful colors.
Then off to my next and most desired haunt, Wall Drug.
I had a picture of me sitting on a stuffed bucking bronc taken 25 years prior. So I wanted to relive that experience. To find out the horse was not there, it was being refurbished after many years and would be returning the next week, so we were “not quite” timely in visiting my friend. So here is my replacement.
How many miles and finally Rapid City for dinner, Did I say I love dinner‼‼
A few of us decided to stay at the bar to watch the NBA playoffs and the rest of us headed for Palmer Gulch Resort. Oh how the web didn’t give this place justice. It was a beautiful area from staying in the hotel to camping. Highly recommended.
