Today we left South Dakota and entered into Minnesota. Can’t say there is much change in the scenery. I think maybe they grow more corn here. We stopped in Sioux Falls for gas and checked out the local Cabella’s store. A virtual Disneyland of a store for hunters and fishers. More camo gear than you could possibly need. Aquariums like you would see at a real Aquarium stocked with game fish, walleye, bass, trout a dozen more fresh water game fish I had never heard of. A hundred stuffed game animals to help you identify what the animal looks like that you are setting out to kill, set in a natural diorama setting. A then of course, the 100 or so mounted heads on the wall, to give you an idea how that moose head would look mounted in the family room. I am not against hunting or fishing, but somehow I find stores like these to be a tad excessive.
Along I-90 there is not a lot to see but occasionally you come across an attraction to break up the day. I mentioned the Corn Palace, there is also the Tractor Museum, the Pioneer Village, the 60foot Jolly Green Giant, a metal sculpture of a very large cow with horns, the Spam Museum, and Jelly Stone RV park with Yogi Bear. Because of time constraints we had to miss most of these attractions, although we could smell the Spam Museum as it was located in the Hormel Plant, but we did stay at Jelly Stone Park as they had an “Overnight Special” which encouraged us to stop. Yogi and BooBoo were unfortunately out of town. Tomorrow we will continue to head east on I-90 into Wisconsin where we anticipate meeting a large cheese.
