Well, after nearly two weeks with very little Internet access, I finally have time to post a few things.
On our way from Sioux Falls, South Dakota to Sheridan, Wyoming, we took a little sidetrip to Mitchell, South Dakota to see the famed Corn Palace. The Corn Palace is entirely redecorated every year using over 275,000 ears of corn and other natural materials. This year, the theme selected by the committee was "American Destinations." The panels were decorated with famous monuments — like Mt Rushmore, the Space Needle and the Arch in St Louis — from all around the country.
A group of hunky young men were trimming the branches from some green material which looked like weeds to this untrained eye. Bunches of it were being placed in the design by the artist. The green will eventually mellow to a nice golden color like the rest of the decorations.
But, on this day, the big attraction was the bust of President Obama being transported by flatbed to the President's Park in the Black Hills. It was kind of eerie seeing the president's head and shoulders in two separate pieces!
