We left Sioux Falls just after 5 AM and headed west. First stop was the Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD. Sharon said it was a once in a lifetime thing. She was right. Much of the artwork and decorations were made of corn.

Next, we headed to Badlands National Park where we saw a lot of erosion, some pronghorn antelope and prairie dogs (they were very shy).

Leaving the Badlands, we went into the town of Wall, home of the world famous Wall Drug Store where we ate lunch.

Then it was off to Mount Rushmore. We took the hike through the woods for a closer look (lots of stairs). We also saw a mountain goat here. How cool is that?!

We headed south for the wildlife loop in Custer State Park where we encountered bison, more antelope, deer and a marmot.

We are now in the Mountain Time Zone, so we had an extra hour today. Our odometer has around 1,600 new miles on it since leaving Atlanta. Tomorrow we head for the Grand Tetons National Park.
