After our first interstate jaunt east, we stopped at a KOA in Mitchell SD, home of the (almost)world famous Corn Palace. Several versions of this palace have been in existance since the early 1900's. All of the decorative portions are made out of corn. As you might suspect, they grow a lot of corn around here. The landscape is now shared with many, many giant wind turbines.
The Corn Palace is the community center of Mitchell and hosts concerts, and basketball games for the local college and high school.
Well, this might be the last post for this fine trip. After the Corn Palace we camped at a waterfront site on Coralville Lake near Cedar Rapids IA. Unfortunately not much time to enjoy the lake. Back to the Interstate. Next stop is Indianapolis to visit my cousin, and then a long jaunt to Salem.
