Mt Rushmore

We had an awesome day today.  We started out at Mt Rushmore where we had our group photo taken and we got to wander around the famous faces.  They are massive, we couldn't go all the way up to the top of them but we got right to the bottom.  It was awesome to finally see them, and they are out in the middle of no where.  Once we finished there we moved on to crazy horse monument, this one is still under construction and has been this way for the past 50 years.  The monument is being carved out of the mountain like Mt Rushmore, only this one is dedicated to a native indian.  It's going to be spectacular when it's finally finished but I can't see that happening anytime soon.  After there we went and did the horse ride.  It was awesome we went in through the woods to the base of the mountains and we saw deer with their babies and turkey's.  It was really pretty, definately a highlight.  Our last stop for the day was a little town called deadwood, it was a very small town and all there was to do there was gamble and eat.  So we went to a saloon and had a drink and then decided to have an early dinner.  We had steak and it was awesome!!! We are moving on tomorrow and heading for Cody.  Should be exciting!!!
