DAY 73 JULY 29 TRAVEL DAY

Day 73. Today was devoted almost exclusively to travel. It rained during the night so we broke camp and stowed a wet tent. We headed east on I90. The one sight seeing destination was the Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD. We watched the interpretive film and toured the building, which was an effort by the community to put Mitchell on the map. There is some interesting native American artwork made from corn that is worth seeing. We continued east through southern Minnesota, eating supper in Albert Lea. Since it rained all day and tent camping was out of the question, we pushed on, figuring we could crash late in a motel. We did so in LaCrosse, Wisconsin, around 10 p.m.

Miles for the day: 583 miles.
Mileage for the trip: 11,335 miles.
