Mitchell, South Dakota - The Corn Palace

Passed fields of corn, hay and sunflowers today on our way to Mitchell, South Dakota.  It's Back - THE WIND!!!  It was a very hard 300 miles with the wind howling the way it did, but we made it to Mitchell KOA for the night.  Dad stopped into the local Cabela's to get some hackles for our fishing flies and there were none - all the women have bought them up to put in their hair.  Went to the Corn Palace where everything on the outside of the building is made with corn and parts from the corn.  It is changed every year and was amazing.  The designs were something else.  Everything from the cob to the stock was used.  Very unique.  Hoepfully we will make it to Nebraska City, Nebraska tomorrow and hopefully the wind will not blow as hard as it did today.  From what I understand - the wind always blows here.  Love ya'll and can't wait to see everyone.
