Drive To Denver Part 2

After Wal-Mart we blasted through Minnesota and made a special detour for Kate to have an exciting childhood moment and visit the "Little Town on The Prairie", former home of Laura Ingalls Wilder:


Next stop: the Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD. And what a treat it was!


Sadly, the building is not made of corn rather decorated with cobs. We happened to be there for "Corn Palace Days" or something of that nature, which turns out is like a county fair.

We stopped by the Democratic bake sale and talked to the old ladies who were running it and we also happened to notice that the republicans were up to their old tricks, trying to win votes by bribing. Hard to see but the republican's sandwich board reads "free water and peanuts"


After that we stopped into Winner, SD.


Slot machines are legal just about everywhere in SD and i figured Winner was the place to give it a shot; however, the dark musty room and sallow faces of the people in the slots room at the gas station made me run the other way.

I'll leave you with this:
