We started off, bright and early sunday morning and visited The Corn Palace in Mitch*ll, SD. Corn is king in this area of South Dakota and the "Palace" is an entertainment show place. It serves as an auditorium which hosts name entertainers and concerts. It is also home to several basketball teams and attracts various sporting events. The exterior is decorated with corn and corn produts that are designed and installed to depick various events and activities. These designs are changed seasonally or depending on events. The Louisana/Mississippi group made up of the Froehlichs, Templets and Mayeauxs started their home ward journey after visiting the Corn Palace and saying their goodbyes. An hours ride got us to the Joe Floyd collection in Sioux Falls.We were greeted by Joe's son Craig who had originally planned to be with us on the tour. Due to a broken axle and other mechanicals problems Craig was not able to connect with us in Nebraska. Joe has a super collection,a fully equipped shop and a spotless display area. His main emphasis is on '36 Fords and there are some outstanding examples in the collection. Immediately appearent is the key car in the collection;the recently restored stainless steel tudor originally built by Allegeny Ludlum. It is surrounded by a woodie, roadster, several convertible sedans and a handsome sedan delivery to name a few. We crossed the border into Minnesota and had a 140 miles to cover before we would reach Eden Praire which was our evening destination.This was a nice drive through farm lands, with large flat fields on both two and four lane roads. Everyone was pretty tired by that time and just when we thought everyone was accounted for, Nancy and Bob Reitz called in. They were out of gas. Ron Stauffer and I headed out with some extra gas, located them and got them back to hotel. Tomorrow we meet up with the Twin Cities RG for a tour on the Yellowstone highway and a visit to Joanne and Paul Omans. Arel Brown

Thanks for continuing this. Fred and I got home safe. Hopefully changed for the better. It was a great trip thanks to a lot of work by a lot of people. TNC as they say in the water testing business. Too numerous to count!
