For hundreds of miles in any direction from Wall, SD you see signs advertising Wall Drugs and all it has to offer, like free ice water, homemade doughnuts, etc. Wall Drugs has to be one of the biggest tourist traps in the country, however it kind of like an oasis in the middle of a desert so you stop, and it is fun. About 15 years ago we came into Wall on a motorcycle with temps of around 110 degrees, a nice spot to cool off. Yesterday it was much cooler.
From there we traveled on to Mitchell, SD, home of the Corn Palace and spent the 4th of July night. This morning we visited the Palace. It serves as a civic center with entertainment and sports. Each year a new decorating theme is chosen and the outside is stripped and redecorated with new corn and grains. The pictures on the palace are made of corn on the cob.
