The Corn Palace, really?!?


After seeing at least 50 signs (kind of like South of the Border, but not quite as bad as Wall Drug), we decided we had to stop and see the only Corn Palace in the world. Good thing there's only one, believe me, the world doesn't need any more. It's not worth anymore space.

We decided to overnight in Murdo, SD, where we ate dinner at the Rusty Spur saloon. It's not easy for a veggie like YD to find food in the heart of beef and bison country (which is one of the reasons we loaded Bobby with yogurt, peanut butter/jelly, fruit, cereal, etc), but we were delighted to see one of her favorites, grilled cheese on the saloon menu. After waiting for quite a while for the single waitress working tonight to take our order, we were anticipating having a drink while waiting for our food. I ordered a shiraz on the menu, to be told they were out of it. OK, no problem, I'll have the Merlot. Then, when ordering our food, and YD orders her grilled cheese, we are told that they are are out of bread! Being that there was no other item on the menu w/o meat, YD had to settle for an appetizer of mushroom poppers and a side salad for her dinner. Oh well, there were life size cutouts of Daisy Mae and James Dean, not to mention a stuffed bison. There aren't a lot of places to eat in Murdo/
