Summer trip

While in South Dakota we visited Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Wind Cave, Jewel Cave, and the Mammoth Site. All of these places are very interesting. We never knew there was so much to do in such a small area of South Dakota.

After leaving the Black Hills of South Dakota we stopped at famous Wall Drug. It's not really all that exciting, but since the freeway is so close you have to stop. We continued on through South Dakota and stopped at the Corn Palace, Mitchell, South Dakota. Another one of those stops you have to do at least once (but not terribly exciting).

Next we drove to the ice cream capital of the world, Le Mars, Iowa. It's the home of Blue Bunny Ice Cream. They have a fancy new ice cream parlor right in the middle of town, so yes we did have to indulge! Iowa has some of the worst roads we have ever used. Of course, we were on highways and not on the Interstate.

We continued on east through Illinois and Indiana and are now in Michigan. Whew - that was a long drive. We'll be attending the National Square Dance convention in Detroit while Buddy stays behind in a campground about an hour from the city. The campground owners will watch over him.
