My Life and Travels
This is a new post vs historical
We had another big lightning and thunder storm last night.
The weather forecast was for thunderstorms most of the day, however the morning started out pretty good so we headed out to Mt Rushmore. The weather held and it was a beautiful day all day.
Here are some of the required pictures:
These are thumbnails of the full picture.
Went into Rapid City to see the new Star Wars movie “Solo”. It was pretty good, not the stand up and cheer kind of movie some of the Star Wars movies have been.
Walked around downtown and took pictures of all the presidential statues the city has put downtown. Here is George Washington:
I took three pictures of each statue; the plaque, a full frontal and a head.
When we get back to more WiFi data I will up load all 43 presidents. Obama’s statue isn’t done and they will not start 45 until he has left office.
Here is a city website with more information.
Took a drive into the north end of Custer State Park today with a drive by of Mt Rushmore.
Couple of road pictures Jean took. It was a nice sunny and warm day.
Spent time driving around the park taking pictures.
We visited an original land claim just outside the park.
We stopped at Devil’s Tower and I took the time to walk around the tower. We were here in 2001.
On the way east we stopped at the Little Bighorn for several hours.
We stopped at The Little Bighorn National Monument during our travels today.

Camped at Cabela’s in Post Falls, Idaho. I used the Christmas present I got from Don to get a few Fly tying things and Cabela’s allows people to spend the night in the parking lot. They have an area mark off with long parking sites, a place to walk your horse and place to run your dog.
Beautiful sunny and warm evening.
