Day 2 - Mitchel, South Dakota

 Disclaimer: These photos have been unedited due to the fact I do not have editing software and the lack of space on my hard drive to do so. Still enjoy them!

Today found us traveling from Newton, Iowa to Mitchel, South Dakota. It was a pretty uneventful travel with the exception of one over-turned Atlas moving truck. How I would hate to be those guys right now! Temps also were in the low 90s with humidity also being lower and a very nice breeze was blowing most of the time so when outside of the truck it was somewhat comfortable.

 As well as some concrete gorilla statues on the side of interstate 29 that I cannot find any information about on the World Wide Web.

 There was also a very interesting toilet in a rest stop in Iowa that I have yet to figure out how it was meant to be used. I took a picture with my phone, but have no way of uploading it here. A Google search has also come up empty handed. My thought was it was meant to be stood over, but that's an entirely different post!

After arriving in Mitchel our first order of business was the often talked about Corn Palace. It is a mere 10 minutes from our campground. Upon further investigation of said Palace, Tony and I, and the girls have no idea what the big attraction is. Yes, it has some interesting art and history being built in 1892, but other than that, it's a big gift shop. We even had an ear of corn each at the concession stand which was not very good and it was served with soy butter that was flavorless. I'm guessing this is one of those trips that will be just checked off our must see list and that is that. Below are some pictures of the interesting art outside and inside made entirely of ears of corn.

Right now Layla is having an evening swim then we are off to bed. We are getting a very early start tomorrow as we have a scenic drive through the Badlands and a visit to Wall Drug on our to do list before heading to our campground. It's going to be a fun filled day! Below are some other pictures of our journey. It was pretty low key, as I stated earlier.  See you tomorrow!
