We left Keystone at 9am on Tuesday. I got pulled over by a SD state trooper around 10am (he let me off). We made it to Wall Drug, the “#1 roadside attraction in the USA,” by 10:30am. After spending TWO HOURS there (yep TWO HOURS in a drug store), we got back on the road headed for Mitchell, SD.
We arrived in Mitchell around 3:30. Our reason for going to Mitchell?
The World’s Only Corn Palace, of course!
We continued on into Minnesota, visiting the hometown of a friend of ours and eating at a place called “Pizza Ranch.” All of the food that we had was great except for the cole slaw---it was may too mayonaiseey.
Finally, we completed this leg of our journey by arriving in Bloomington (a suburb of the Twin Cities) at 11:30 pm, Tuesday night.
So...in just over 50 hours after we left home, we had seen Vegas, Salt Lake City, Park City (home of the olympics), Wyoming (whatever), Mt Rushmore, Wall Drug, the Corn Palace, been puled over by a highway patrol, eaten a bowl of mayo, er, cole slaw, and driven through 6 states. Whirlwind you say? Nah! We're just getting started!
I'd give more info, but I'm quite sleepy...

Love your blog. Your vacation version of "The Amazing Race" sounds so fun. Keep it coming. Makes me feel as if I'm on the trip, too.
Love,

Looks like you are hitting all the old hotspots. Which reminds me I better find that Corn Palace video and get it transfered.

Todd, you now we are hitting all of the hotspots, just no hot birds jetting out of the median...I was a bit nervous on the drive across I-90, but it was probably not necessary since we didn't look like a giant banana hurtling down the road.
