The Trip Home

Who would have thought that a building in the middle of South Dakota with corn cobbs nailed on the side would be such a tourist draw. But it really was pretty cool and a good break. The from and side of the building have these murals. They change them every year at a cost of about $190,000. They were puting up some of the grass to frame the murals.
These workers were wrapping the grass into bundles to put on the building.
Below is the St. Louis Arch and the Alamo.
Below is the Golden Gate Bridge and the Grand Canyon. Below is Wall Drug. It takes up nearly the entire block. It reminded me of a giant Hamilton Store in Yellowstone. Again a nice place for a break.
Some of the National Grasslands of South Dakota.
We traveled to Minneapolis via I80 and I35. The main attractions were the State Capitals and center of the country as seen on previous Blogs. The trip home was via I90. The 400 miles across South Dakota has the Corn Palace and Wall Drug as the main sites.

We arrived in Casper about 9:30 Friday Night, but that was after gaining an hour with the time change. It really did feel like 10:30. Just a short 4 hours home on Saturday.
