Left for Mt Rushmore on tuesday night in order to save some time and have more daylight to spare on wednesday. It was a 9 hr drive all the way to Mt Rushmore. But that's not our first destination. First was Walmart at Cody, where we stocked up on some food and supplies for breakfast. We made several intermediate stops to refuel the car and myself.
Breakfast was at Devil's Tower, here we set up our solid fuel and mess tins and started the fire. We had "bak kut teh" and "curry chicken" on the menu. Withthe supplies we gathered from walmart. I'm proud to say we whipped up a pretty good meal.
We went into Rapid city after breakfast, we had to look for lodging. We found this place call EconoLodge. Good price, nice room frenly staff and most of all the room is big!!!
After loading our stuff in the room we headed off to Mt Rushmore. From Rapid City it took less than an hr to reach Mt Rushmore. Mt Rushmore really is a HUGE piece of art. Sculpting a face is a huge task in itself, more so when the task is as huge as Mt Rushmore!!
We ended the day with some shopping over at Walmart again. We are really kindda stuck with walmart!!
Thursday morning we checked out of EconoLodge and proceeded to Wind Caves National Park. The Cave trail that we took showed us a whole new experience. In yellowstone we see all kinds of mountains and ridges and trees. The cave were new and refreshing.
For this trip we had chinese food 2 times, once at rapid city an once in gillette. Neither was fantastic, none of them had a fully chinese speak crew either. SO disappointing. :P
