Well today was more exciting, but we didn't go the distance that we have on the first two days.
We woke up to cool damp weather, that seems to be normal, I think. Anyway we set of for Mt. Rushmore, stopping en route at a quaint restaurant, a former powder keg formerly used for storing black powder, dynamite and bootleg liquor. Had a nice breakfast there, then on to Mt. Rushmore.
The carvings of the four presidents are truly amazing and I got some pretty good shots of them. I won't post them now because, as usual, I am doing this far too late in the evening.
The whole area around there is full of interesting things to see and do. We hope to be able to return some day.
The nearest town to Mt. Rushmore is Rapid City, a nice looking place, but I hate to admit, Diane & I got lost 3 times trying to get back onto the I-90 east bound. By this time, the sun had come out so we got some serious tanning done driving down the highway.
One interesting note about the Interstates, the speed limit in most places is 75 MPH, or almost 120 km/hr. I love it.
So tomorrow we pick up the I-29 south at Sioux Falls for Iowa, Missouri and Kansas.
