Yellowstone Trip - Days 19-21: The Leg Home

Once leaving Custer, my attitude started to change.  I knew it was almost over...the last, final leg of the trip.  Still had a good time, but there was a cloud overhead.  Know what I mean?  Like the first part of the trip, it was a travel day every day until we got home.  This too gets old.  I am now a firm believer in the 2-2-2 plan I've been wanting to live by that is:  < 200 miles a day, arrive by 2pm, and stay for at least 2 days.  I also learned on this trip that NOT having reservations and having to keep those is a really nice feeling whenever possible.  Schedules create some stress all on their own.

 This little city is Wall, SD.  It's known for Wall Drug.  Wall drug really is not just one store--at least not anymore.  It's more of a compression of touristy stores and cafes.  Despite that, it was pretty cool.  See it if you can.

The Corn Palace is a corntastic building in the city of Mitchell, SD.  People say to make this stop as well.  Honestly, it was closing and we didn't even see it.  I did talk to the folks inside and it's sort of an arena for events and some history of how corn was presented to farmers in the olden days to attract  business.

This little campground was a really beautiful CB one exit west of Mitchell, SD.  It's a gem called "Famil - E."  Nicely set up, beautiful trees, and quiet.

The "Peculiar CG" in the city of Peculiar, KS--south of KC--was an ok stop to visit one of Gina's friends, Sharn.  Management seemed too self-occupied with stuff.

We drove back into KC, KS to see Sharn.  Her son Chuck accompanied us on a tour of pretty much all of KC, KS and KC, MO.  We stayed out late, had some Hibachi grill, and some good convo.  The next morning, we headed back.  The "Yellowstone Trip" will surely be a fond memory for Gina and I.
