Day 20 - Arden Hills, Minnesota

After Mount Rushmore, I continued East, and visited Wall Drug. It was really interesting, and I had some of the free ice water (it came from a dispenser, and wasn't really that cold), and picked up some toenail clippers, which I was in dire need of. Then I continued to Mitchell, SD, and visited the Corn Palace. It was covered with murals done with various shades of brown and yellow corn cobs. The front was also decorated with tufts of dried grasses of some kind, but the side was still under construction, and was mostly still plywood.

After leaving Mitchell, I went on to Minnesota and spent the night with my brother and his wife. I went to the mall earlier today, and picked up some things at Borders, where they were handing out coupons at the door (unfortunately, I could use the "$2 off Fiction" coupon on a Discworld novel, but not the "$2 off Humor" coupon).


One of many sections of Wall Drug.


You can actually climb on top of the jackalope from the other side.


All of those murals are done in corn cobs.
