Headed out at sunrise and turned an 11 hour drive into a 15 hour drive with a detour onto highway 240: the Badlands loop. I think I could have stayed in the Badlands all day. I&#8217;m pretty sure I took photos of every square inch of what I saw. Pretty spectacular. And then on to the Corn Palace, because a trip to South Dakota is not complete without seeing a building decorated ornately with corn. I got home that night and pretty much rolled out of the car and into bed. It was a really great trip, and I feel so lucky that I got to combine &#8220;work&#8221; &#8211; if you could call it that, with travel and sightseeing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/sd22.jpg\" alt=\"sd22\" title=\"sd22\" width=\"470\" height=\"313\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1831\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/sd22.jpg 470w, https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/sd22-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/sd23.jpg\" alt=\"sd23\" title=\"sd23\" width=\"470\" height=\"313\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1832\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/sd23.jpg 470w, https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/sd23-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/sd24.jpg\" alt=\"sd24\" title=\"sd24\" width=\"470\" height=\"313\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1833\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/sd24.jpg 470w, https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/sd24-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/sd26.jpg\" alt=\"sd26\" title=\"sd26\" width=\"470\" height=\"313\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1835\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/sd26.jpg 470w, https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/sd26-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/sd25.jpg\" alt=\"sd25\" title=\"sd25\" width=\"470\" height=\"312\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1834\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/sd25.jpg 470w, https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/sd25-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/sd27.jpg\" alt=\"sd27\" title=\"sd27\" width=\"470\" height=\"313\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/sd27.jpg 470w, https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/sd27-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/sd28.jpg\" alt=\"sd28\" title=\"sd28\" width=\"470\" height=\"313\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1837\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/sd28.jpg 470w, https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/sd28-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/sd30.jpg\" alt=\"sd30\" title=\"sd30\" width=\"470\" height=\"313\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1839\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/sd30.jpg 470w, https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/sd30-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/sd29.jpg\" alt=\"sd29\" title=\"sd29\" width=\"470\" height=\"313\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1838\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/sd29.jpg 470w, https:\/\/ruralpearl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/sd29-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monday was the last day of my trip, and a long day at that.
