Once again, I must apologize for my lack of internet availability, and the lack of consistent posting. Right now I am sitting in a chair (which is a little too small to be truly comfortable) in our room at the Holiday Inn Express in Mitchell, SD. I know that it may be difficult for you to contain yourself right now, as we all know that Mitchell is the home of the world famous "Corn Palace". That is, a civic arena that is totally covered on the outside with corn products, including leaves, husks, ears, kernels and silk. After reading this your summer vacation plans will probably have to be changed. I hope to have pictures for you soon.
Today was the day that we picked up Beth from school and began our journey westward. We left my parent's house in La Crosse, WI a little before 10:00am, and reached St. Paul, MN a little after the noon hour. After way too narrowly avoiding a grinding wreck on I-94 in downtown St. Paul while the weather was...you guessed it...rainy we safely but shakily arrived at Concordia University. The weather had been rainy all day up until that point, but things dried out quite nicely from there on. At the same time that the rain ended the wind reared its ugly head once again. The result was another very strong head wind that we had to drive into from southern Minnesota into South Dakota. We should finally catch a break tomorrow as the sun will be returning, the temperatures rising, and the wind diminishing.
On Friday we are going to be making our way to Sheridan, Wyoming, by way of the Corn Palace and Devil's Tower in northeast Wyoming. We will be arriving home late in the day Saturday.
