A few pics from the vacation..
The view of Mt. Rushmore through one of the tunnels on the highway. The engineers who built the road intentionally had the tunnels go through the rock in order to frame the monument.
The family somewhere in Custer State Park A few of the buffalo I saw in Custer State Park: Sheridan Reservoir (I think that's the name) somewhere in South Dakota on US 20 between Rapid City and the Wyoming border: The view of Devil's Tower from our campsite A couple more shots of Devil's Tower

No pictures of the Mormon Handcart sight at Martin's Cove? Or Tokyo Massage in Casper?

Wow, your son (the one on the left) looks like dear old dad!
Did you guys make it to the Crazy Horse monument? The sculptor's vision was really interesting.....not sure how much of it has progressed since I was there as a kid.

My friend has a theory that North and South Dakota don't really exist, because nobody has ever met someone who is from either of those states, and those who claim to be from there are just looking for attention, trying to be different.
You just shot her hypothesis to pot, unless you are in on the conpiracy, that is. |

Great pictures; Devil's Tower looks like exposed stringy muscle.

Looks fun. It actually looks like a good ol' pack the car, drive across country and see cool stuff while the kids drive you nuts kind of vacation. My BIL wants to take his kids on all these foreign vacations, which is cool, but I don't understand why you wouldn't show them their own country first.

Devil's Gate at Martin's Cove The Pony Express trail as it comes out of Devil's Gate toward Martin's Cove: Crazy Horse Monument: I missed the Tokyo Massage. I didn't even fuel up in Casper. I guess I need to go back some day?

SD really does exist. ND, I'm not so sure.

I did get around to posting the pic from Crazy Horse. The thing is huge. We'll all be dead long before it's finished.

The devil certainly made his share of cool geographical features.
Nice shots. Looks like it was fun AND educational.
