Day 16-17 Black Hills Forest, SD to Rapid City, SD




We took off in the morning to see Jewel Cave, but unfortunately all of the tours were already booked at 9am! So we continued on to Crazy Horse, where we got an excellent view from the highway, and therefore didn't feel the need to pay $30 to see it up close. From there, we continued to Mount Rushmore, which although amazing, is somewhat smaller than expected. One great thing about South Dakota gift shops though is that they have this really reasonably priced opal jewelry, my favorite stone!
(Pete- I was suprised to learn that there is a partialy completed vault for important documents behind Lincon's Head!)

Unfortunately, we ran into some more car troubles in Rapid City and ended up having to spend a couple days waiting for parts :( Sigh, if only the Blazer didn't already have 118,000 miles on it! But, it's good as new after our short delay.
