Today was another long day of driving that had a quick detour to Devils Tower for David and ended in Rapid City, South Dakota to see Mount Rushmore.
The highlight of David’s day, this odd shaped rock that jets out of the ground in the middle of nowhere, Devil’s Tower.
And, we ended the day with the spectacular views of Mount Rushmore. Did you know that the faces were almost entirely – 90 percent – carved using dynamite? There’s a great trail that goes around the amphitheater at the park, giving unique views of the faces of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. Here’s my favorite of the photos. More on Flickr.
Tomorrow, we’ll be driving toward Chicago. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s fun.
The first one makes me think of mashed potatoes, I wonder why.
Hope you are having a blast.
Funny … I have been thinking about mashed potatoes ALL DAY!
It also makes me think of garden tools and chicken wire in the living room.
