We found a motel for
2 nights in Keystone, SD. October is a
great time to visit this area if you don't like all the tourists and half the
shops and motels are closed for the season.
But we were able to get a great deal on a motel for 2 nights and no lines
or traffic anywhere! Yesterday was very warm and sunny, but this morning we
woke to rain, fog and chilly weather.
We decided to get in the van and see if we could see Crazy
Horse. While driving by Mount Rushmore we were not able to see the faces so were
a little discouraged. We drove to Crazy Horse. When we arrived, no Crazy Horse
in site, hidden behind fog. We decided to head in and see the exhibits and wait
for fog to lift. The movie presentation
was great. So interesting to find out all the information on the monument. The
fog didn't lift so we received a pass to get back in later and went to lunch.
When picking a place for lunch in a small town, look for the
most cars with local license plates. We found a cute little cafe and returned
to Crazy Horse at just the right time to catch the bus to the foot of the
mountain after the fog lifted. See all the videos and pictures in the You Tube
Video below.
We decided to take the scenic route to get back to the
motel. The most beautiful views! Fun ride if you don't get carsick. I don't usually get carsick but the hairpin
turns were a little much at times. We had to stop a few times so settle me!
Saw Mount Rushmore several times on our trip around Black Hills National Forest and Custer
State Park. Such a fun afternoon just taking the back roads!
Found a place in Keystone for supper to get a bowl of soup and an
appetizer.
