Black Hills

it was a quick trip but I packd in the miles. so I feel I have a good overview of that part of the state. for me the highlight was Mt Rushmore. we all know what it looks like but until you've seen it   walkd under it   you can't realize the power of the work. monumental sculpture indeed.

my host   Michael Fish   kindly took me across the Wyoming border. another state crossd off the list. I know   I know. I didn't even spend the nite. I plan on doing the parks of Wyoming one day. promise. but technically I have been in the state. so that leaves but 3: Idaho   which I'll visit next month   then Montana & North Dakota   perhaps next year.
