This
post represents another installment in the series detailing the first of our
three cross country National Parks camping trips.
Heading out from the Mystery Mountain Resort in Rapid City, South Dakota, we set our sights on
Mount Rushmore (link HERE). Alan and I
had visited this National Memorial on our honeymoon - the trip we were now
recreating with our kids who were ages 8 and 13 at the time. I can still remember standing in the viewing
area all those years ago, a young adult mesmerized by the size and the scope of
the sculpture. Since I was remembering
it as we first saw it, I was surprised to see how much had changed at Mount
Rushmore in the intervening years. Silly
me.
