Thursday July 29th Mt Rushmore SD

Dakota RV was able to replace our rear air conditioner the first thing in the morning so we were in our campground and hooked up by noon. Ivan, Randi, Yvonne and I then drove over to Mt Rushmore National Park for the afternoon. This was Yvonne and my second trip here. Pictures do not do this memorial justice, you have to see it in person. We hiked the Presidents Trail around the base of the mountain and had some great views. This area of the Black Hills is forested and the rock formations are very unique. We left just in time, as a major rain and wind storm hit the area. I left my flag pole up and when we returned to the campground it had snapped off at the base. It will now we about 2 feet shorter.
