Want to go where I want to go, do what I want to do.........

Since we arrived so late Saturday night, we finished touring the little town of Wall before we started out for Grand Rapids and Mount Rushmore on Sunday

Salt is going nuts over the scenery here in the Black Hills. It is a magnificent drive. We have reservations at a KOA in Rapid City, since we plan to unhitch the jeep and do some serious sightseeing in the hills

Here we are at Mount Rushmore http://www.mtrushmore.net/ It's funny how all your life you see pictures of famous landmarks and find them interesting, yet when you actually stand in front of one of them it's a whole new perspective and respect.

Here are a couple of goats that roam the mountain but are absolutely fearless.

I could fill these pages with facts we are learning on all of our stops, but by putting the web sites in, you can pick what interests you or check them at your leisure.

After leaving Mount Rushmore we saw a sign reading...."Deadwood"..."Find the inner outlaw in yourself" www.deadwood.com Of course that is just the kind of come on that would make me follow the signs...HUGE mistake as it is an old western town turned into nothing but CASINOS. Since we are saving our allotted gambling money for Las Vegas, it didn't turn out to be a very exciting evening. The drive through the Black Hills National Forest and Custer State Park was well worth the trip!

We crossed over into Wyoming for a few miles before getting back on the road to Deadwood. This rock formation appeared from out of nowhere. It was very cool.
