Bison, Caves and Storms, Oh My!
Day two was almost entirely spent enjoying the beauty of South Dakota. We visited the Badlands, Mount Rushmore, the Jewel Caves (Custer, SD), and the Needles (granite columns in Custer State Park). Pictures are below.
Once we got over our fear of getting charged by a herd of bison, we had a great time exploring SD! The Badlands are absolutely beautiful and amazingly in the middle of prairie land. I can only imagine what the first explorers thought when, after cruising their horse and carriage, ended up among the gorgeous, but barely cross-able, Badlands!
Our day ended with a crazy storm with golf-sized hail that landed us in a hotel rather than a tent. Today, we're visiting Yellowstone and Grand Tetons!

Spamelot
Deepa and Catie set off on an epic journey to CA from IL, starting at 5:30am on 4 August 2008.
First, they visited the Spam Museum in Minnesota and learned that every minute 3.8 cans of SPAM are eaten and it is sold in 99% of US grocery stores in the USA.
Also, the parking spots are clearly labeled.
You can play with a spatula designed to flip a 10,000 pound SPAM burger.
Lastly, you can make your own SPAM can.
Things just got more and more exciting. Following the SPAM Museum, D and C visited the infamous Corn Palace in Mitchell, South Dakota. Not only does the outside of the building change each year, but you can also entertain your "corny" side.
