We had a little farther to drive today, so we got an earlier start, 248 miles today.
It was cloudy and much cooler than what we have been used to, even in Independence. The high today was about 66, it was 61 in the rig when I got up this morning. Considered turning the fireplace on, but just put a flannel shirt on and that was good enough. We got rained on a couple of times. The first time was just as we had stopped to take some pictures at the Green Giant Statue in Blue Earth, MN. Because of the rain, we didn't explore it as closely as we might have, just took a few pictures and got back into the truck.
Also in Blue Earth, on the interstate is a Golden Stripe on the shoulder of the road. It is there to celebrate the meeting of the west coast construction crew and the east coast crew that originally built I-90, which goes from Boston to Seattle. There are sections of this road that are under construction, but it will take a long time, and most of it is pretty bad.
Other than the Green Giant and Golden Stripe, the drive was pretty boring. I had a real hard time staying awake.
Tonight we are parked in the Ron Dee's RV Park in Mitchell, SD. We will be here for 2 nights. Tomorrow we are going to the Corn Palace. More about that tomorrow.
