What a loooooooong day of driving... but it was fun, (we stopped for a short power nap ... after just 5 hours of driving.)
We stopped at some pretty goofy places along the way.
The Jolly Green Giant was another photo-op we HAD to get..*L* Gas was cheap here too $3.43 per gallon in Blue Earth.
The Spam Museum didn't open for 2 hours, so we just snapped photos outside the entrance and were on our way...
We had a bit of sun and a bit of rain, but nothing bad... and when the "heaven's opened", there was this small little church chapel at one of the rest areas we peeked in at.
We saw this place on the way, NEXT EXIT, the sign said..so we turned off, but alas, it was closed for the season.. rats!
The Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD was along the way, we stopped to take a picture, but it sounded boring, so we didn't go in...but we DID eat a late lunch/early dinner at the western saloon across the street before heading out again.
Jackalope's are everywhere here... Kasey found a giant, tamer one to ride..*L*
We crashed at the hotel for the night at 7 p.m., looked at the 400 photos Kasey and I had snapped, did some blogging, and now for sleep... so far it's been fun, but looking forward to tomorrow... Badlands, Black Hills, Wall Drug and Mt. Rushmore....
More to come....
