Day 4

Started the day at 6 at a cool 56 degrees.  Off to make the Wildlife Loop Road.  Saw deer, prairie dogs, buffalo, antelope, burros and sheep.

After a good homemade breakfast, we headed towards Mount Rushmore.  It's hard to comprehend the vision it took to create Rushmore, but heck.....the road getting there. You exit a tunnel and bam!  There's Mount Rushmore perfectly framed in the tunnel.  It can't help but inspire a little patriotism or some sort of Americana, USA spirit.  Everyone needs to visit it.



We then headed 2 hours east to the Badlands National Park.  Wasn't sure what to expect. Words like eerie come to mind, but I think the best 2 adjectives are peaceful and calm.
