Day 5, had its interesting moments. We left bright and early from Robin's house in order to make the long trek to South Dakota. It was long, easy, and boring. For the tech geeks, remember when you first got a Windows XP computer and the default background is a green rolling hill with a blue sky? That's what we went through - minus the extreme photoshopping.
We made a quick stop off I90 to Mitchell, South Dakota. Mitchell has the worlds largest bird feeder, also known as the Corn Palace. Yes, its a palace made of corn. Yes, we were in South Dakota, and No, people don't have much to do around there. Every year they
change the design It was pretty interesting to walk around the inside and see the photos of past designs. It was an overly corny attraction, but another thing that makes South Dakota .... weird.
At about 5:30 we reached the Badlands KOA Kampground. Yes, they spell campground with a K. It is super well kept, and at one point voted the best KOA Kampground. Had a gourmet meal of lobster bisque, sauerkraut rye, gourmet cheeses, and artisian beer. Bill and I aren't beer drinkers by any far stretch of the imagination, but Fat Tire is great. We lit a fire at dusk and roasted marshmallows. It was picture perfect camping bliss. Tika was nothing but a happy hyper pup looking for the turkeys that gobbled all night around us. Below is dinner prep time. Yum!
