A Full Day

BJ's RV Park in Lusk, just before we pulled out Saturday morning
If it is Saturday, there must be a yard sale!
A second sale at the stage coach museum
We came upon yet another fire as we got into South Dakota.
As of 7:30 tonight, it is still pretty bad.
On our way to Mt. Rushmore, these granite hills are magnificent!
We watched a great video about the planning and the men behind the work on this monument. It was originally thought of by a man named Doane Robinson. Gutzon Borglum and his son, Lincoln, did the sculpture design. Gutzon did the work on Stone Mountain in Georgia. As hard as this work was, not one person died during the construction (1927-1941).
Somehow I got this picture with no other tourists in it!
A profile view of George Washington
This enlargement shows one of the courageous workers.

The rest of the day we strolled the town of Hill City with hundreds of other tourists, supper out and then home to rest. We are exhausted!
