Wall Drug.

What started as a small store run by a married couple has turned into a chachkee mecca. We learned that the night before had been some big poker opening in the area, which explained why several gas stations were litterally taken over by bikers.

It's always a pleasure to stop in Wall, and we did the usual Wall Drug thing. After having our fill of an endless supply of completely pointless things to spend money on (of which we did spend some) we went to Mitchell, S.D. which has the world's only Corn Palace. I'm not sure why the world needs more than one these, but at least we have the one. It's a big building...covered in corn.

At this point, S.D. becomes what you previosly thought- boring. Empty, flat, and void of major vegetation.
