Friday, July 16th we drove up to see the Mount Rushmore National Memorial. The walk down to, and through, the array of state flags was beautiful, as those who have seen it can attest. We too the tour walk down to the "cave" beneath Washingtons head and on around the walkway.
That afternoon we drove down into Hill City for a walkabout and window shopping up and down the street.
Saturday we went to visit Keystone for a shopping tour and then on up to "Bear Country", a drive through zoo south of Rapid City. Unfortunately, we had gotten a late start and most of the animals were down for their mid-day nap. We saw Elk with tremendous spread of antlers curled up in the grass, as were most of the animals. We saw them all, but had to look hard. The bears were an exception, walking about in their area and holding up traffic as they wandered across the road. After "Bear Country" we stopped by two wineries for a little sampling. A Corvette club was also doing some nipping and having a great time. We ended up buying several local varieties before heading back to the campground.
