Trip Update Aug 2010 BC, MT, WY, SD Part 4

Mount Rushmore
George Washington (60 tall foot head)
Abe Lincoln
Crazy Horse Monument (under construction)

Black Hills of South Dakota
Our Born Free RV group set up a rally in the Black Hills and since it was on our way back east, we joined them. First we stopped in Rapid City to collect our mail and renew our Driver’s Licenses. We had to produce considerable documentation to prove our identity. This was necessary to meet the new Homeland Security requirements. We did a bus tour with our group to Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, and the Crazy Horse Memorial. We also toured Wind Cave, the 5th longest cave in the world and it is known for its very rare box formations. In Rapid City, there is a sculpture of a president at every major intersection. They have a world class collection of gems and fossils at their Museum of Geology. We wanted to tour the Minuteman Missile site, but it was booked up. We headed to MN for Labor Day Weekend.
