In looking through some photos, I realized that I missed talking about our journey from Steinbring Motorcoach and our visit with Kevin and Tammy to Spearfish, SD, where we caught up with Steve and friends.
We stopped in Bismarck, ND and then down to Left Tailrace at Ft. Thompson. Both stops were along the Missouri River, and we enjoyed the beauty of the bluffs and the river. We then backtracked to Sioux Falls in an effort to get the wheel alignment checked on our new coach. While that effort failed, we had a nice stopover lunch at Falls Park. And hey, there's that continual Muffler Man quest.
Then it was on to the Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD. The Corn Palace was closed last year because of covid and I was curious as to what a corn palace looked like. It was just the kind of quirky, free fun that we needed. Showcasing agriculture, the murals are made of different types of corn. The designs, which feature a unique theme each year, are really quite impressive when you think about it.
Although we didn't stop this year, the rest area at Chamberlain is worth a stop. Sitting on the bluffs overlooking the Missouri River, the rest stop is home to the Dignity Statue. I have yet to see the statue lit up at night. Perhaps someday we will.
Of course, there's the famed Wall Drug. Granted, it's very touristy, but still worth a stop. Free water for everyone, free coffee and donut for veterans, and plenty of shopping for everyone.
