South Dakota

After two great days in Wyoming we headed east from Sheridan this morning and arrived in South Dakota.   We had breakfast at the Cowboy Café in the town of Custer.  The waitress told us that General Custer was not a nice man and that she wished the town was named after someone else.  Anyway, after breakfast we went to the Crazy Horse monument a HUGE granite sculpture of this famous Indian warrior.  They have been working on it for like 50 years and it still has a long way to go - it was really neat.  After that we went to Mount Rushmore and saw all the President's carved up high in the cliffs.  We went on a hike and got pretty close to the monument, saw an interesting video  and the sculpture's studio.  It was very neat.  We then drove to Wall, South Dakota, parked the RV in a cool RV "Resort" and hung out and played volleyball.  We then went to Wall Emporium, which I guess is a pretty big deal in South Dakota - it was a huge tourist center with a café that could sit over 500 people.  After dinner we came back to the RV and watched a movie.  Tomorrow we are headed off to Minnesota to meet up with my Auntie Ann and my cousin Gabbie - I am sure with some adventures a long the way.
