Life at 55 mph

In 2008 I lost my job. I then bought an RV and went on a three year road trip that took me to all of the lower 48 states, to 5 provinces in Canada, and I spent 3 months in the winter in Mexico. I then returned home for my 50th birthday in June 2011. This blog is a record of this amazing road adventure and I hope you enjoy every mile of my trip.

The World's Only Corn Palace, Mitchell, South Dakota (click here for more info)

Since1892 the Corn Palace has been decorated every year with murals made out of 12 different colors of corn and framed with native grasses, straw, and grains. There is a different theme every year and this year the theme is transportation. During the summer you can watch the work being done on the murals.

They have a post card just like that, it's black and white. It says something about the weather report saying temps went up and it shows a pic of the palace with corn popping all over the place :-)
