Today was an interesting day.
Our first stop was Sioux Falls park - the Sioux Falls city park at the falls on the Big Sioux River. the falls are located where prisoners cut rocks (a red quartz) from the river banks for building. We also took a trolley ride through town to see the historical buildings.
Our second stop was the world known CORN PALACE. It is a small town auditorium that is decorated with many different pieces of corn, from the maize, tassels, stocks, corn ears, etc. The designs are changed and replaced every year.
We then stopped at the Missouri River overlook at Chamberlain on I-90. It contains a mini-museum of the Lewis and Clark expedition.
We drove through the Bandlands National Park. Here besides the many colorful and various rock formations created by erosion, we saw close up Pronghorn, Bison, Mountain Goats and Mule Deer. The Mountain Goats had several young with them. They appeared to be only walking a few days.
Finally we stopped for the night in Wall, SD. We walked around Wall Drugs and ended the evening with ice cream.
