So we went to see the faces. Mt Rushmore in the morning is a great time to go...not crowded and cool temps. The walkway up to the presidents is flanked with the flags of the states. So all of you in Michigan need to use your brain and figure out when Michigan became a state...Mike said 1939 ...I said 1937.. we were both wrong ... 1936!! Fun to go to the visitor center, see the movie and go to the museum. Learn about the pine trees dead from from the pine beetle. We saw lots of those dead trees on the hills.
We stayed at the KOA campground we stayed in at 2001..at the time of 911. It is now a KOA on steroids with pools, splash pad,playgrounds and a great place for kids. Had the pancake breakfast. We then traveled the back way out and went to Deadwood to check out a cigar store Mike had heard about. Little did we know it was the classic car show festival weekend!!. Tons of people, beer, concerts and nice people...not to mention all the classic cars. A great little town that was fun.
1957 Chevy...beautiful car!!
Mike and I then went on to Devils Tower in Wyoming. A great place that has lots of rock climbers and you can see it for miles and miles and miles.
Saturday night we made it to Bozeman and got to visit with Pam and Dennis..friends from Traverse City who were at the same campground and in Bozeman for a wedding and fishing. They borrowed a little camper called a Scamp...that they call "little Debbie". Fun to get together and compare notes.
Just arrived in Twin Bridges and have had ice tea on the porch with Don and Marsha and caught up on all the news. We will fish with Matt tomorrow and hope we have great pictures to share.
Michael and Kathy
Looks like you are having fun. You are retracing some of our trip from last year. The sights of our country are very spectacular. I am glad you are having fun.
