Mount Rockmore/Rushmore

Our early train-horn alarm gave us a jump start on the day. A bit tired from the events of the night before, we hit a gas station for a cup of coffee and then off to Mount Rushmore.

The Flintstones Theme Park

 When you see a Flintstones Theme Park on the side of the road in South Dakota, you stop.

 Strolling through Bedrock.

Hell's Angel

Wolf spots a woolie mammoth up ahead.

Take the last train to Bedrock and I'll meet you at the station.

Hittin' the town with Fred.

Bar fight with Fred went a little too far. Wolf being escorted to the Deadrock pen.

Beaten up. See you in 3-5, Wolf.

Locked up in Deadrock. 

Nice to see a smile after Newcastle.

Bam Bam

The first of three national monuments that day.

Crazy Horse

The second monument we saw was Crazy Horse. To see this unfinished sculpture, it would have cost us $20. We politely declined and drove up for a quick snapshot then left.

Mount Rushmore

The anticipation was building as we approached four of our country's greatest leaders.

Now off to Omaha to watch the College World Series.
