After leaving Illinois we drove due West toward South Dakota, crossing the Mississippi River in Davenport, Iowa. That day we drove over 600 miles, getting a good jump on our westward journey. We crossed the entire state on Route 80. The flat terrain of Illinois slowly turned into the small rolling hills of Iowa. Our goal for that evening was Mitchell, South Dakota. We stayed at the Lake Mitchell Campground. We were one of three campers there for the evening and we were lucky enough to get a lake view campsite. Though it was a bit windy, we set up camp and cooked a great meal….steak, spinach salad, potato salad and some nice crusty bread.
The next morning we woke up to a cool 40 degrees and ended up with cold showers…ugh! On our way out of Mitchell we stopped to visit the world famous Corn Palace, which was originally established in 1892 to display the fruits of the early settlers' harvest.
