Tuesday, September 22, 2015 - A Day to Rest (Mitchell, South Dakota)

It was wonderful to know when I woke up that we were not going to travel today. 

Bella and I were very happy.

Once I was up and computered for a while Jesse and I went to Perkins for breakfast.

Then we went back to the Corn Palace

It's an event center with murals inside and out made of corn cobs.
It's been there over 120 years and they redecorate the murals each year.

Inside there is a gym with corn art and we watched a 15 minute film about how it got started.

After we were finished there we went to Walmart for some supplies.

We got this hedge hog toy for Bella and she loves it, will not leave it alone.

We got home around 1PM and I had the rest of the day and night to just be home.

I baked an apple crisp for dessert.

For dinner I made a meat loaf, scalloped potatoes and broccoli.

I got all caught up on laundry and we relaxed.

We will travel again tomorrow.

Monday, September 22, 2015 - Travel Day (Mitchell, South Dakota)

We left Wall this morning at 9:50 am.

Our travel was non-eventful. We have seen so many antelope through Wyoming and South Dakota and today was no different. I think they are beautiful animals. Their coloring, light brown and creamy white is unmistakable.

It's too hard to get pictures because we go too fast past them.

We stopped in Chamberlain at McDonald's for lunch yesterday. We actually wanted Subway, but no place to park this big rig.

We arrived at 3:00PM central time in Mitchell, South Dakota and it was hot 90 degrees. We are staying at R&R Campground, using our Passport America Membership the cost was $22.79 for FHU site.

We relaxed for about an hour after getting all set-up.

We were not able to get our satellite, because of trees, but they have good cable TV.

We decided to take a ride to see the Corn Palace but they were closed.

We came back to the rig. I made stuffed pork chops and veggies for dinner and just watched the boob tube.

Sunday, September 20,2015 - Wall Drugs (Wall, South Dakota)

We departed the camp ground around 9:30 this morning.

We had an uneventful drive to Wall SD and arrived at 1:00.

We checked in using our Good Sam Membership and paid $31.90 for  FHU with pretty good WiFi at The Arrow Campground.

BTW last night also had  WiFi and it was excellent. The WiFi in Estes Park was just fair.

Back to today:

We got set-up and decided to go to Wall Drug which is only a few blocks away.

I suppose in it's early days in the 1900's it was the place to go. 

In my opinion  it's a tourist trap where the food is just okay and everything is too expensive.

We ate some lunch in their restaurant. Jesse did get 5 cent coffee. 

Some of the art work on the walls is very beautiful and worth quite a lot of money.

In the mall like area there is a small very cute chapel.

After we left there we went to fill the truck with fuel and headed back home to Bella.

We are only staying one night so we are on the road again tomorrow.
