We are Westbound on I-90! It's cold! 19 degrees/-7 C, but the roads are clear, and we are currently moving at a usual speed. At 9:58am we drove through Mitchell, South Dakota home of the famous "Corn Palace", where they feature a new theme every year. It is an amazing place to visit. "Eight years before the turn of the 20th century, in 1892 (when Mitchell, South Dakota was a small, 12-year-old city of 3,000 inhabitants) the World's Only Corn Palace was established on the city’s Main Street." (2025) "During it’s over 100 years of existence, it has become known worldwide and now attracts more than a half a million visitors annually." The dramatic landscape change begins near exit 131, when the Badlands will appear. Around this area is Wall, SD (Home of the famous Wall Drugs, free ice water and the Jackalope, which could be great friends with our own Aunt J) in close proximity to Rapid City and Ellsworth Air Force Base. It is gateway to the Badlands and the historic Minuteman Missile sites.  BigRigSteve is an American truck driver who shares his daily routine & experiences while living his life out on the open road.
