Mt. Rushmore pics - finally!

Here are a few photos from our Memorial Day weekend trip.

leaving Laramie

Johnny in the Oregon Trail ruts


Yours truly in the Oregon Trail ruts

next we went to Register Cliff

an example of the hundreds of inscriptions

onward to Hot Springs, SD!

We went to The Mammoth Site in Hot Springs, SD. VERY cool!
The arrows here show where the weight of Mammoths compressed the mud and left their mark!

one area of the excavation

at that point, we headed towards Custer, SD

the next day we went to see the Crazy Horse Memorial. It's huge!

next we went to Mt. Rushmore


then to the Cathedral Spires



we thought this was a huge rock and had to pose by it


Afterwards, we went on a tour of the Jewel Cave National Monument.
I haven't sorted through those pictures yet, sorry!
