View of the day-The Corn Palace in Mitchell, South Dakota. It is decorated with a different theme every year with grain that is grown in SD.
We were up early to the sound of rain...again...but the worst of it seemed to be to the south and since we weren't going to be combining anytime soon, it didn't hurt too bad.
Kim, Marg and Gordie came out from Chamberlain for the two minute tour of Hamill and after visiting for a while, we all left for lunch in Chamberlain. After a discussion on where to go shopping, we decided to drive the 80 miles to Mitchell...the closest Walmart and motorcycle accessories site. Marilyn rode in with Marg and the guys travelled together...neither meeting up with the other during the days shopping...who can account for taste? Write this down somewhere...Marilyn came out of the Walmart with one item under $10...it's true. Al on the other hand came out of the CaseIH dealership with one item just under 3 digits.
After meeting up for coffee after shopping, we drove up to the Corn Palace, but it was a mad house with no parking...darn tourists...so we carried on to do a bit more shopping then headed back to Chamberlain to check out the Interstate tourist traps there. It was late so we had supper then Al and Marilyn left to go back to Hamill.
Tomorrow we will take in the Unlimited Light Hydroplane races back at Chamberlain and it's supposed to be a nice day.
Won't rule out the umbrella...
