Day 3 South Dakota







Made it to the Badlands. This is what we have been driving for, the the Great Plains attractions.
Getting here was boring, flat and really green. We had to stop at the Corn Palace in Mitchel which is all decorating in corn, wheat and other grains. Actually they were still decorating while we were there. The murals on the outside of the building are changed yearly, based on a theme.
The Badlands are huge! And breath taking! Didn't see any Bison or coyotes only a rabbit and many prairie dogs. And we have those in Michigan. Altho we did see a herd of Bison on the side of I-90 on the way to the National Park. Go figure.
Staying a few nights in the Black Hills to visit Mt Rushmore and Custer State Park. Tried to see the laser light show at the "four faces" but had a bad storm come through just as we were setting up camp. Instead spent a quiet evening at "home".
Until tomorrow....
