An oasis and a celebration of corn!















































From the Badlands we headed east then just before crossing the Missouri River we stopped at Al's Oasis to re-stock with much needed supplies. One of the things we noticed on this trip is how spoiled we are by the variety of product at the grocery stores back home, Al's was a welcome stop being the best stocked store we had been in for quite a while. We then continued east and stopped in Mitchell, South Dakota at the famous Corn Palace. The Corn Palace is covered in giant mosaics made from corn that depict different imagery each year. The 2010 theme was transportation through the ages, unfortunately the stagecoach was the closest image to our vintage camper. Overall pretty interesting for a quick stop and a part of many classic road trips.
