Corn and Rocks

Corn Palace

On the 29th we started out driving to the Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD from Beresford, SD. When we got to the Corn Palace we saw a lot of amazing pictures on the outside of the palace made out of corn like pictures of Mt. Rushmore, Washington D.C., and the St. Louis Arch. Next we traveled down the street to Cabela’s one of the biggest outdoor stores in the United States. We shopped around there for a while and then left for Badlands National Park. When we got there we got to climb up some of the rocks in the park. We watched a video about the history of the park and got some amazing pictures. Then we left for Wall Drug in Wall, SD, one of the biggest stores in South Dakota. They had everything there, they had fudge, a restaurant, and many stores. Then we drove to our campsite at Custer State Park, set up camp, and made nachos for dinner. So far we have had a great trip, lets hope the rest of the trip is that great.
