Road Trip Day 3 ... Black Hills, SD

Our Adventure today took us down through the Black Hills.  We spent time at Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse and Custer State Park.  Our day ended in Rapid City, SD where we finally got to meet Collin, Megan's boyfriend and were able to take Megan and Collin out to dinner.  A big thanks to Jeanne and Rich, Quent's aunt and uncle, it was great to see them again and we enjoyed spending the night at their house.

Megan took us on a tour of the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, where she and Collin go to school.  It was great to see her and see the campus.  Unfortunately we didn't get any pictures with Megan.  We had a short visit as she had a test to study for and work to go too and we forgot to grab the camera at dinner.

Mount Rushmore was different than I had expected (ok not the actual monument, it looks the same as all the pictures) but for some reason I didn't realize it was up in the hills, not out for all to see.  We spent quite a bit of time there, what an amazing accomplishment that is.
