Good Morning,

Well this is officially my first road trip of my adult life that is longer than 8 hours. My in-laws moved from Iowa to Washington last month and had to leave 1 car behind. So we're driving it out to them. I've been activley researching places to go and things to do. But I run into a dry patch after making a side trip to Yellowstone to see Old Faithful. I will put my itenery below, and PLEASE feel free to inject any and all suggestions. Whether it be food, attraction, or quilt shop (I have a quilter with me). :)

Day One (Total driving time 12.5 hours with time allotted for site seeing)
  • Drive to Mitchell, South Dakota - 6 hours 38 minutes / 428.30 miles
  • See the Corn Palace
  • 604 North Main Street Mitchell, SD 57301
  • Drive to Wall, South Dakota – 3 hours 9 minutes / 222.23 miles

Here is the route I currently have set. I don't plan on driving this again, so if there are any "don't miss" spots. I have been told when going through Buffalo to spot in for a Dash Inn Burger. :)

But any guidance you might have is greatly appreciated.
