August 30, 2013..We spent last night in Charles City, Iowa. It was a nice campground and it was so good to have a place where we could be in out of the heat and relax. The temperature was up to 95 during most of our drive yesterday. The photo below is at our campsite in Charles City. Just beyond our campsite was Cedar River.

Today we drove on to Plankinton, South Dakota after a stop in Mitchell, South Dakota where the Corn Palace is located. If you are not familiar with the Corn Palace, the outside is covered with corn. It is pretty hard to believe they made all the decoration and covering with corn. Below is a photo of the Corn Palace. By the way, they change the outside each year. The photo on the left below is one we made last year and the one on the right was made today.
