Spent a long day at Yellowstone. Got back to our site at Red Rocks RV Park in Island Park, Idaho, and Sara and the boys immediately crashed - giving me a perfect opportunity to post several snippetsand observations from the trip so far.
June 22 & 23: Good progress and made up for late start by driving through the night and catching a few winks at a tollway oasis outside Chicago. Packed a lot into the first day (pun intended) with visits to the U.S. Grant house in Galena, IL; the Field of Dreams filming location in Dyersville, IA; the Jolly Green Giant statue in Blue Earth, MN and the Spam Museum in Austin, MN. Spent the night of the 23rd at an RV Park in Welcome, MN. Boys discovered old-school merry-go-round at park -demonstrated the essential "Wheel of Death" pushing technique.
June 24: Toured Southwest Minnesota, including the city of Luverne, my father's hometown and the site of numerous misadventures during visits when I was growing up and the Pipestone National Monument, where the boys picked up the first of many National Park Service Junior Ranger badges, then made tracks for Mitchell, South Dakota and the Corn Palace. Sadly, we missed our chance to meet the Palace's mascot, Cornelius, and get his autograph. The Dolphin is running like a champ so far.
