Leaving Custer, our mission was to get home as efficiently as possible but we did take time to pause in Mitchell, South Dakota to see the world’s only Corn Palace. The Corn Palace was built over 100 years ago to prove to the world South Dakota had an agricultural presence worth taking note of. The Palace is decorated with naturally colored corn and other grains and natural grasses. A different theme is chosen every year. The mural designs are created by local University students and are truly a-maizeing!
From South Dakota, we put in some long driving days through Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois and Kentucky, thankful for shady campsites and our camper’s hard working air conditioner. The Tennessee welcome center was a welcome sight after traveling 14,700 miles through 19 states, for 7 and 1/2 months. We’ve loved the adventure but “what a long strange trip it has been.”
