This morning we woke to 30 degrees.
Today we were up early and out to the Mount Rushmore National Monument; thank goodness we were. By 9:00 it was packed; we got there at 8:15 (yes even Dorothy was up and functional). It is just amazing - it really does take your breath away and to learn the story behind it and how the workers carved it was just something. We can't imagine workers today doing what they did and not complain - talk about just being glad you have a job. Picture sitting on a swing, hung by ratty looking ropes 4000 feet up and chiseling and blasting into a mountain. If anyone ever has a chance to come to South Dakota you must do it. After the monument we headed to the Presidential wax museum. It was pretty interesting; we learned a lot about the early presidents that we had forgotten. Then we headed back to the campground and just sat around the fire.
