Des Moines







We left Rapid City, SD enroute to our overnight destination in Sioux Falls, SD. It's a big state! We visited Wall Drugs (similar to South of the Border),the Badlands National Park, a very interesting automobile museum in Murdo and lunched at Al's Oasis in Chamberlain, SD. Mike introduced Bonnie to the Corn Palace and Cabella's in Mitchell, SD. We finally arrived in Sioux Falls about 7:00 pm. and after a dinner at Sonic Burger we turned in.

The Dawg gypsy truck pulled into JoLynne Meskimen's driveway in Des Moines shortly after lunch on the 1st of July and we will stay over the 4th. I hear they shoot fireworks in the shape of corn. We passed miles and miles of corn fields. In the restaurants the vegetable of the day is CORN. Sorry, JoLynne! We were welcomed into her new home and it is open and lovely. I don't think she down sized too much. We had dinner with the Gahans (Martin Marietta friends) and I enjoyed my first walleye fish dinner. We are taking advantage of a place to wash clothes, hair, etc. We will visit with her grandson Tanner over the weekend. Aunt JoLynne has seen all of our baby pictures already. Later we will bore her with our trip pictures. have a good day!
