May 23

Started the day at Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota.  We didn't tour the cave, but we did see many bison.




We then went to the Crazy Horse Memorial.  Only his face is finished.  When completed all of Mt. Rushmore will fit in his hair.

What it looks like now.
What it will look like when finished.



Down the road was Mt. Rushmore.



Our final tour was of the South Dakota Badlands.  We took the back way and drove 15 miles on dirt roads to view them.















We ended the day with a long, seemingly endless drive to North Dakota.

Rt 85 is long and straight

The landscape changed from
cattle grazing land to this badland
and back again
