Day 3 Monday 13 June 2011
We made it to Mitchell SD today, the home of the Corn Palace; that's it in the background. The facade is all made of corn.
We were not in a rush today, we planned a short drive but it became strenuous - we went through 3 thunderstorms, the first was the darkest we had ever seen; but we survived all and got here early.
The trip up I29 along the Iowa Nebraska border follows the Missouri River. The big news today is the the Army Corp of engineers decided to ease the reservoirs and there is flooding everywhere. At one point on I29 we crossed a bridge that was less that 12 inches from the top of the water - but we got thru.
We have good Internet tonight, the3 satellite is up and Running and we are about to watch the hockey game. There is till thunder and the forecast is for more thunder storms - hope our dish stays up for the whole game.
