Total Miles Today:
Total Miles Trip:
After a great night's sleep, we head off to Mt. Rushmore. It was amazing to see. We had lunch on the patio overlooking it. I bought a couple of great books from there (and a t-shirt too!).
We left Mt. Rushmore and moved on to Crazy Horse. It was really cool to see it and learn the history.
On our way back to Keystone, we went through part of Custer State Park. We did this drive that was steep and curly, but had fabulous views of the Black Hills.
We got back to Keystone in the afternoon and did some shopping. We stopped and a couple of beers while we sat and people watched. Norma went to get some chips and salsa and they looked at her like she was crazy! (Ed.'s Note: Guess we really aren't in Texas anymore!)
We went back to Rushmore for the lighting ceremony. Powerful stuff!! We started out saying the pledge and doing presidential trivia. Jacob from Maryland knew his presidents!! The ranger did a talk, we watched a video and then the monument was lit. We sang the national anthem and then recognized about 50 vets who were in the audience. It was very patriotic and very moving!
Now we are heading back to Deadwood for the night. As I type, it is 51 degrees outside. I'm chilly and it's July!!!
Tomorrow we are exploring Deadwood and probably gonna try to make it to Wyoming.
