Oct 6: SD/WY |
Rapid City, South Dakota |
Ice on the motel roof -- it got cold last night |
Strategizing over breakfast at the Best Western (best commercial lodgings of the trip so far, and cheaper than far lesser establishments) |
We head into the Black Hills for some monumental sights |
Here's the first one |
Remember the rain in Iowa on Oct 4? Up here, it was snow. |
A neato bridge... |
...made of laminated wood arches |
Mount Rushmore National Memorial, South Dakota |
Anne fends off the first snowball of the season |
Inspiring! |
A distinguished profile |
OK, here's the money shot |
Mountain goats are not impressed |
Crazy Horse Memorial, South Dakota |
This thing looks the same as when I last saw it -- 9 years ago! |
Custer State Park, South Dakota |
We recommend the Wildlife Loop road |
Just don't open the door |
Bison and fall color |
Hey, we can't all be pretty boys |
Rapid City, South Dakota |
Back to Rapid City to see an old friend (sorry about the blurry picture), then on to Wyoming |
Devil's Tower National Monument, Wyoming |
A far encounter |
The Tower at sunset |
the next day... |
