We had decided to become South Dakota residents. However, since we arrived on the weekend, we decided to continue driving west on I-90 instead of stopping in Sioux Falls. We spent our first night at a KOA in Mitchell, SD where we found the "World's only corn palace. The outside of the corn palace is changed each year. The huge, colorful murals are made using roughly 275 thousand ears of corn. We then drove further west where we found a nice campground in Hermosa, SD just 15-30 minutes from Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore, and the Crazy Horse Monument. We arrived there on Sunday, Mother's Day, and had a nice dinner at the Blue Bell Lodge in Custer State Park. Alice Shelton, daughter of a former co-worker is desk manager at the lodge. She recommended the buffalo meatloaf which was delicious. After dinner we drove back to Heartland RV park by way of the wildlife trail. We saw lots of buffalo, a few deer, and burrows. The last picture of buffalo was taken when we returned to the entrance of the park at the end of the wildlife trail.
