Wow, Alan, great clip. I was fortunate enough to visit the Corn Palace on my last trip to the USA. So unusual.

I had never heard of this place until a few hours ago! Michelle, I hope you were able to visit some other places besides the corn palace while you were here! This place is definitely unique though.

Went camping around 33 States, Alan. And by the way, coincidentally, though it sounds really corny, I also went to The Kellogs Factory at Battle Creek, Michigan - per Boozich's clip. Even stayed in Boston by the way - very nice city. Damn, seems like I've been everywhere!
