North and West from Milwaukee feels like going home

Looking at the atlas; we are a very long way from home.  But the longest  journey begins with a single step, in this case a folding step to enter the MoHo. First stop Rochester, Minesota. Who knew the Mayo clinic was not in New York? Fine smarty pants well I didn’t. The MoHo was once again uncomfortable in a park full of very very expensive breatherin. Turns out they even have a rule to not allow MoHo’s of our vintage to stay there. Well we stayed anyway. Hitting the road again we made our way to I-90 West; first stop? Why the Jolly Green Giant of course!!!jollyhohoho.jpgjollymoho2.jpg

                                       “Do these leaves make my butt look big?”

 Didn’t know he was here either…  Mitchell South Dakota was our scheduled stop for the night. CORN PALACE !!!!!!! cornpalace.jpgWhat the ?!?!? Would there be corn tiaras??? Corn pone????? Corn popped???  All that and MORE. This place is actually covered in corn…go ahead…click on the picture…I’ll wait. Can you believe it?

davein-wallace.jpgWe found a city park on a lake to stay at and the cicadas were screaming loudly. Turns out this was Barbara’s fathers’ home town and she has stayed in this very park. Next AM……. Did you sat CORN PALACE ?!?!?!?   Quite the place and the doll museum across the street was world class.   Back on the highway the wind was howling. Probably 40 mph head/cross winds. Lots of fun. NOT.   So signs start to popup advertising Wall Drug . There are a lot of signs. I mean really….a lot of them. So we stop. Picture Casa De Fruta on steroids. We bought souvenirs and still this did not stop the wind. The signs were more interesting than the place. Back to arguing with the MoHo on whether we should stay on the road……   We are stopped  just past Rapid City almost to Sturgis very poor TV reception, but good blog reception. Well good night for now.
