Our first day of sightseeing and we went where all the tourists go in this area – Mount Rushmore! It is still as beautiful as I remember, and it was Sam’s first time here, so it was great! It was a beautiful day, and we hiked the presidential trail through the woods.
That day there was a book signing by a man who had actually worked on creating the monument. He worked on Teddy Roosevelt and mostly on Abraham Lincoln. Cool!
After leaving there, we went to Hill City and had lunch at a local diner. On the drive over, we say a mountain goat, which is a rare sighting!
We then decided to drive over to see the Crazy Horse Monument that afternoon. Jim and I had driven by it before, but we had never visited the museum or stopped in. Reading about the history of the artist and his family was fascinating! There is progress being made on the carving every day, and it is massive. Some Lakota Indians performed some ceremonial dances as well.
We finished the day at Matt and Michele’s house with pizza. Sam got to play minecraft with Luke, so all was well! J
