Mt. Rushmore was worth the trip to see. With binocs, you can see the marks from carving and the shiny new caulk being put into weaker cracks. Unlike the poor old Man in the Mountain, these are not in danger of falling at this time. There is a large, I assume new, visitor center with 50 state flags, cafeteria, gift shop, parking garage, and an eleven dollar parking fee (!*!*##*). So much for National Parks being free for seniors with the Golden Age card. The parking fee is collected by a concessionaire. Today we go to St John's Episcopal Church in Deadwood, then stroll about Sturgis and on to Badlands.
Thanks for all the great comments and sharing bits of your own adventures.
