Corn Palace


June 8th

Went to the Corn Palace!  Thought of Rabago and Michael when we were there, it is actually a community center, which is cool – and the art work was pretty amazing considering it is all made our of parts of the corn.  Had a great time.


Left there and drove on to the Badlands – What a very pleasant and unexpected surprise.  They were beautiful – I had no idea.  I will write more on them later, just trying to catch everyone up on where we have been so far, will go back and write specifics on our journey as I can. But they were breathtaking, around every corner, Charlie and I kept saying.. "look at that!"  " Wow", and "this is Beautiful".

We were able to use Charlie’s National Forrest pass to camp and to get in, which meant the camping was just 14.00 a night.  We had electricity, so we could turn on the AC, which was good since there was no shade.  


Went out later that day after it had cooled off and got to walk out on the hills, bluffs, not sure what they are called, but wow!  They are so very pretty.  Took lots of pictures and came back to have dinner.  Since we had electricity, I made baked penne and toast with olive oil.  We took a short walk and cleaned the windshield.  We have decided to stay another day so we can totally see the Badlands.  Tomorrow we will take DiDi out for that.  Very glad we brought a small car along.  I will load these entries now, we are at a rest stop with internet, and I will add the rest later.  We are having a wonderful time!
