We caught the eastern edge of Nebraska as we hustled back to the north and west - our sights set on Mt. Rushmore. We stopped for an overnight stay near Lincoln and then continued to Mitchell, SD - just west of Sioux Falls. The RV park shared an indoor pool and water slide with a local motel and the boys thoroughly enjoyed the chance to swim! We took one side trip to see the Corn Palace. Built to demonstrate the agricultural benefits of South Dakota, the structure houses an arena and boasts large murals made of corn cobs on the exterior. The murals are changed each year to carry out a new theme. We just caught the end of 'Destinations' and were so pleased! We again forgot our camera, but Cory had his. You'll have to catch the photos of the infamous Corn Palace through his blog!
After a long drive across the state to Black Hawk, just west of Rapid City, we settled in for a few days to take in the sights. We are a bit delayed in sight seeing as the boys both have colds (too much swimming?), so we're busying about some routine maintenance, grocery and laundry chores while we wait for improvements. The weather also has brought high winds that are quite COLD, so we will set out for the sights when it warms up - hopefully tomorrow!
