Rushmore and the Park

  

Mount Rushmore 

Some nice family took my picture on the left so I wouldn't have another picture with my head in the corner :) It was a lot of fun. Definitely worth the drive, looked small as I drove up there but once I was in the park it was great.  I took the .6 mile loop with tour guide and visited the sculpture studio too. I needed some form of exercise after driving for so many days.  I stayed till noon did a little shopping in the gift shop and had some lunch. The altitude started to get to me, I didn't realize that I was up almost 6,000ft.  

After Rushmore I headed to Custer National Park it was awesome! I drove the 27 mile 'wildlife loop' at about 25mph.  The first thing I came across was a car stopped in the middle of the road. As I approached I could see furry creatures with their heads inside the car...

                         Its wild ass!!    

I'm sorry i just cant help myself, had to say it! But seriously there were donkeys everywhere! When you drive by, just open your window and they will stick their heads right in! 

                  

Aren't they so cute!!!! I want one! 

I saw other wildlife too...

After the animals and Rushmore I headed to Hot Springs, SD. I found a little cabin to stay in that was built in the 1920's.  Then in the morning I would head out to the Wild Horse Sanctuary to see the Mustangs.
