I hear scary noises outside my kabin…I think it’s a bear, or saskwatch…yikes!
My kabin (as they call them at KOA kampgrounds), is in Mitchell, SD, home of the world’s only corn palace, and there’s only one for a reason. Luckily for me, I happened to get here during the annual polka-fest! It was really one of the most interesting things I’ve ever seen. If I can figure out how, I’ll put a video clip on here.(I tried, but my connection is bad, maybe tomorrow.) The corn palace is so corny…get it? Corny!! The outside is covered in various parts of corn, which makes murals. Inside it’s basically a small theatre with a few corn murals. Not the best place ever, but, according to the guy with one tooth and a serious stutter who works at the campground, it’s one of the 1,001 tackiest places to visit before you die, so, I win!
The highlight of my day was dinner, which was a pulled pork sandwich at B’s BBQ House (or something like that). I also went to Cabela’s, but the one in Pennsylvania is much better.
Driving sucked today. It was 240 miles of flat and straight, but the speed limit is 75. The only problem with that is that it’s so windy and my car is a box on wheels (it’s a Honda Element, for those who don’t know), so I really couldn’t even go that fast. Tomorrow I’m driving 300 miles to the Black Hills area, where Mt. Rushmore is. It’s supposed to be really beautiful there, so I’m excited to maybe do some hiking. Those of you that have seen the movie Team America will know what I’m really going for!
Also, thanks for all your comments, it’s nice to know people are reading this and following me on my journey.
Seriously...what is that noise??

Hi, It's Aimee, Nichole's friend here in AZ. Just wanted to tell you I've been on the drive from Illinois to California and it was flat and boring most of the way! Then again we had no intention of stopping. Hope your enjoying yourself.Next time you go to Chicago you should consider going up the Sears Tower.Did you ever figure out what the noise was?You should have purchased a TASER and took it with you on your journey!
