Today we had a short day of only 126 miles. We will make up for it tomorrow because we plan to do almost 500 miles. It was an interesting day. Mt. Rushmore was so impressive. Ray says that he thinks that it is something that everyone should see at least once. Yesterday we bought a national parks pass. At Mt. Rushmore it still cost $11. to park. I bought a national park passport today. Now whenever I go to a national park, I will get it stamped. We ate lunch at Buffalo's Restaurant in Deadwood. Then we went to Kevin Cosner's cassino/ restaurant. There is a lot of movie memorbilia there. After ice cream in Lead, SD, we headed to the hotel but not before a side trip through Sturgis. There is a huge motor cycle meet there annually. It is a sleepy little town. The only thing that I saw of interest was a bronze statue of a nude cowgirl. (She was wearing a cowboy hat). On the way back Jim pulled in to a weigh station. His car out weighs ours by 240 pounds. Our cars are running great! Tomorrow I will write from Montana.
Hello Guys - We are watching your Adventure Daily. It looks wonderful. We missed you all at Grandfather's Day, It was a smaller turnout than expected. Only 62 Cars arrived, but we think that is just a sign of the times, the economy, and the cost of gas. Anyway, we look forward to reading more. Have fun and be safe! From the Gang @ Mike's
