Rocks... Lots of Rocks

     Today we left the Badlands and headed northwest to Mt. Rushmore. To get there we drove the scenic Iron Mountain Road and went through many u-turns and tunnels as we wound up the mountainside. Once we got to Mt. Rushmore, we walked near the base and stared in awe at the mighty creation in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

     After leaving Rushmore, we drove past Crazy Horse (which didn't have much completed) and then went to the town of Lead (pronounced LEED) and toured the gold mining museum. 

Tonight we camped approx. 30 miles away from Devil's Tower, which we will see in the morning. 

At our campsite in the Badlands we found a Hawaii license plate and that combined with the plates we found at Rushmore we have 43 states license plates as well as four Canadian provinces, US Government, Washington DC, and Germany!!
