We are up early and thought we would check out Mt.Rushmore and how together there. Well,the roadwewefe on was the wrong direction and wound up in Hill City. In around a out way we got there.
It is amazing when you finally see it. You go around a corner and there it is. We decided together audio tour and we well we were glade did. We learned a lot more about every phase of the mountain's history.
The guy who took this was great! He got down on the walk to shoot up so we would have the
Presidents in the background.
We relaxed the rest of the day. We met a couple, Tim and Amy from Miinneapolis. They had been coming to the same campsite for 23 years. The best thing is they helped us with some issues and gave us some great tips on the camper.
We went back to Mt.Rushmore for an evening event a friend Jeannette Thompson had told us about
She and other friends had just come back from This area. It is a beautiful ceremony. There were about 2,000 plus people there.
The the end of the lighting the ranger invites all vets and active military to come up on stage.
Jim is in blue near the right hand side. The park ranger asked for for something these guys hadn't heard in a long time. He asked for 6 volunteers. Those guys are to the right and participate in lowering the flag. The rest he calls to attention...."Right Face".
After the flag is folded the rangers goes to each vet, they put their hand on the flag and say their branch of the service. All total their were 90 vets on that stage. Lots and cheering, proud people.
Everyone left with smiles and a Full Moon was in the sky. It was a beautiful day.
