This first picture is in South Dakota on our way up to see Mt. Rushmore. Apparently we had perfect timing for the motorcycle rally:
This was also in South Dakota, it is a really large Bull head on the side of the freeway. Shrug
This says Adrian, I promise. I got this for you Adrian since we were finding all sorts of other signs. I am going to have to steal the other pictures from Josh and put them in another post. But, you Adrian, are special. You get to be the first one up on here ;)
We weren't intending to see the Jolly Green Giant, we just stopped for dinner and it happened to be right next door. BONUS! It is in Minnesota as the sign says.
We were told that while in Minnesota we had to try cheese curd. Deep fried cheese curd that is. Here is what it looks like with Mike and Henry trying them out!
We borrowed a GPS from my brother because I was paranoid about the maps that I had printed with step-by-step instructions and our phones with GPS not getting us where we needed to be. What was I worried about? My google map sure didn't have us driving right down the middle of the Mississippi river!
We have driven a long way and can assure you all that our country is in fact covered in corn. So, here we have "children of the corn" in Burlington Iowa.
After the Nauvoo Pagent we just went the path of least resistance to get out of there. But then I realized that the temple was now lit up and we would like to see it one last time before we moved on. So the GPS had us going on some strange roads to get turned around. This is the narrow dirt road that we ended up on. It was dark. It almost felt like we were lost in "Lord of the Rings" in the Fellowship when they are going through the forest and are hiding from the Wraith.
Mike wanted to go find several cemeteries while we were in Iowa and we ended up in Gibson Iowa. So here is the Post Office in Gibson Iowa. Kind of a mash-up between the Gibson's and the Golightly's.
This was right outside Amarillo. They are Cadillacs buried in the ground. If you want to see what they looked like before all the spray paint and what they symbolize, go here. It is picture number 9. We also say picture number 10 as we drove by. We would have stopped but really wanted to get to the hotel.
