Day Three took us about 575 miles through Iowa and most of South Dakota…and into Mountain Time! Iowa was more of the same (you guessed it: corn). We were a little skeptical going into South Dakota because, according to some sources, the South Dakotan stretch of I-90 we were going to drive is “the most boring road in America.” I’m happy to report we were pleasantly surprised, and these were the highlights!
- The World’s Only Corn Palace (Mitchell, SD) – No, you’re not corn-fused…this is exactly what it sounds like. A few miles off the highway, in the “historic district” of Mitchell, SD, is a theater that’s completely decked out with corn! And these people love their puns. So a-maize-ingly corny 🙂
When in South Dakota…wear matching prairie dresses! 
What stunning ear-chitecture! - Missouri River Overlook (Chamberlain, SD) – Lewis and Clark camped out somewhere in this area along the Missouri River. This was a really peaceful stop and welcome break from the road.
Missouri River in the evening. - Sunflower Fields – Just before sunset, we started driving through field after field of sunflowers (my favorite flower). Couldn’t resist getting off the highway to frolic for a few minutes 🙂
Shooting sunflowers.

Tomorrow, we head for the Badlands and Black Hills.
