Saturday-Sunday, May 29/30, Day 80/81

620 miles today, and took in some sights. It was our longest day as we make our way home.


We made our first stop at the Lewis and Clark State Park along the Missouri River, where we saw a replica of the keel boats used on the expedition.

We drove on from Iowa to S. Dakota, with a short trip through part of Nebraska. We also made a stop at the "world famous", "worlds only Corn Palace". For those who have not had the experience, every year the "Palace" is decorated with corn art.

Next up was a quick stop at the Missouri River overlook. The area is full of Lewis and Clark history.

As we neared the Badlands of South Dakota, we had some trouble with the RV that will require some repairs. After the long week, we were planning on taking a break anyways. So we sitting near the White River just south of the main area of Badlands National Park.

Sunday, we had family church in the RV, caught up on a few things and relaxed enjoying the nice weather. We also watched the old movie "Around the world in 80 Days" which we thought was appropriate given the length of time we have been on the road.
