Well after a late start this morning, we were off to Deadwood and Mount Rushmore. Deadwood was kinda cool...not much to do but gamble and shop, but I would consider staying there in the future just to check out the night life. One thing we did do was go to Mount Moriah Cemetery to check out the gravesites of Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane. Not the be day weather wise as it was 91 degrees, and it was a bit of a hike in the hot sun to get to the sites.
We then headed off through the hills on our way to see Mount Rushmore. I had been there when I was a kid, but really don't remember much about it. Man, has the area changed in over 20 years. They have this new "plaza" area with all the state flags along the walk to the monument. We did get some great shots:
After this stop, we headed off to Hot Springs for the night. Tomorrow we are off to the Crazy Horse monument and Custer State Park.
TTFN.... :)
