Jackson KOA Minnesota

 Made it to the next stop here in Jackson, MN. This is our last one stopper, then we will be in Maple Grove for a couple of days visiting family. Nice KOA, very well kept. 

On every trip comes the day that one must do the wonderful laundry! The laundry room was clean of course, $2.00 a load to wash and dry! Which is typical. So, before we left home, I filled up the laundry bin with quarters, soap sheets, and fabric sheets. 

We cooked chicken breasts, on the grill, had salad, and noodles with a cream jalapeno base sauce for dinner. YUMMY! 

Corn Palace, Mitchell South Dakota

While in Mitchell, one must visit the Corn Palace! We took the self-guided tour, and it's amazing that all the murals are made out of corn. Of course, when in South Dakota, one must try sunflower seeds. They actually have the brand that I've started to really like, Wild Dutchman. They are less salty, and I like the roasted flavor. I also had to buy the Dakota Brothers popcorn.

We had breakfast at the Main Street Mercantile. The food and service was good.

      

working on changing the mural out front

They are changing the mural out front, they draw it on this paper and have it marked with the color's etc of the corn to use.

Mitchell South Dakota

 Just arrived at Lake Mitchell Campground. It's a really nice place. The temperature was 91 degrees throughout the state. I'm glad to be done with the long drive. There was a slight crosswind, which made it a bit challenging for the driver. We made a stop at Wall Drug, so the drive was longer than expected. This campground would be perfect for a family gathering. There are lots of different sites, from tents to RVs and travel trailers. You can fish in the lake and even rent pontoons. I wish we could stay an extra night here. Note to self: maybe stay extra night on another travel date.

Wall Drug, Wall, South Dakota

 Everyone must see Wall Drug. Man oh man, there are lots of shops, everything you can imagine to buy it is there. We didn't have much time to stay and check everything out, a person could spend hours there. One thing we did notice, that in the parking lot, there were campers there dry camping. It must be for free. Note if we ever come this way again and need a place to stay.

Dressed Modelo

 We visited Bar 46 & Casino at the RV spot and used our free drink coupon. We enjoyed some great bar food, which was frozen pizza and wings.

The highlight of the visit was when husband ordered a dressed Modelo with salt on the rim. The bartender initially agreed but later brought a saltshaker, saying it was difficult to put the salt on the rim, and suggested he could do it himself. We found it so funny and thanked her for the salt, saying we would take care of it ourselves! Guess it didn't register, she could put the beer in a glass with salt on the rim? Oh well, it made a great chuckle.
