Trip to Chicago from Vancouver Island, BC, Canada

And we drove through the Badlands. Pretty neat terrain out there, hard to believe early settlers tried to set up a town down in that area.
I seem to have taken lots of pictures of the Badlands.

We then went to the Corn Palace. I didn't realize the place was so old, as in dating back before the 40's. For those of you who don't know, all the designs on the outside are made of corn.

And here are some earlier designs of the building, from previous years.

We stopped to camp the night in Blue Earth, and they had the Green Giant, so we grabbed a picture. Lots of fireflies out, first time I've seen that many flying around at once, really cool! First night of the trip that I got really wasted too.

And driving past a wind farm.

When we arrived at Evelyn's parents in a suburb just out of Chicago, we went out fishing on the Great Lake. This was my first time fishing on a boat, I think I did alright.

Evelyn's mother and her took me for a tour of Chicago the next day, and took me up the Sears Tower, and just around downtown a little.

There were people screaming, unable to handle walking out on the glass. Understandable though.

And that's the end of it. The next day, I flew from Chicago to Pheonix Arizona, where I transferred my plane and flew to Vancouver, BC, Canada. Thanks for looking, if I find the rest of the pictures that were lost, I'll be sure to post them.
