We left Missouri rested and ready for our next adventures. We traveled through Iowa (and some very scary looking bridge-art work) and onto South Dakota. South Dakota seems to be one of the longest states we traveled through. Miles an miles of hilly flatness broken up by occasional hand-painted signs advertising a place called Wall Drug. Literally miles and miles interspersed with these signs. Often, accompanying these signs was a completely random item…like an old fire truck or dinosaur skeleton.
To break up the miles we detoured a little off the road to see the "Corn Palace". Not being much of a agricultural guru, I wasn't too impressed with the auditorium filled with corn. But, it was nice to stretch the legs and kind of cool in retrospect.
From the Corn Palace, we hit the road and moved on to see what exactly was Wall Drug. We worried a little about reaching it before it closed, but we realized as we traveled that we where chasing the sun and time was flipping back as we traveled (new timezones). We made it in plenty of time and even enjoy dinner in the little throw-back to the Wild West little town. We left Wall Drug a little less road-weary and headed on to our hotel in Mt. Rushmore. We checked into our tiny room and called an end to day three.
