South Dakota Halloween Trip 2011 part 2



Entry Log : Most Import part and focus of trip is visit the Mount Rushmore Monument, Keystone, South Dakota.  We arrived about an hour before the national park closed and we sorta planned it this way; due to, my addiction to sunsets. I highly recommend seeing the monument with the sunset it was spectacular watching the faces go from full sun to different degrees of grey…It was bitter cold and I was so happy that I was wearing my felt bell hat. The Hubs and I tend to dress someone classic even in leisure so our pictures almost have a retro 1940’s feel which was an unexpected surprise. The National park does have a café and I can recommend the coffee. Per normal for us we had our Dukan food on us and we enjoyed ever morsel with the café’s fresh brewed coffee. The monuments museum was small but easily gave the feel of the primitive tools and obstacles the baseball/sculptures faced while carving the monument. The walk from parking to the monument are pillars and each state is carved into a side of one of the pillar; this is our beloved native Texas
