Very Unusual Place

If you have never been to Mt Rushmore you should make a point of visiting there.  Unless you are there in person you cannot experience the feeling of patriotism you feel when seeing those four faces chiseled in the rock.  I was there 36 years ago and this time was just as awe inspiring.  All of the flags of each state are flying as you walk toward the mountain and it gave me the chills.  So beautiful.

Leaving Mt. Rushmore I continued my drive toward Huron, SD, Larry's hometown.  On the way you have to stop at Wall Drug.  Where the hell is Wall Drug?  Out in the middle of no where is a huge western looking store that sells everything-- food, drinks, donuts, clothing, postcards, key chains, coffee mugs, guns, trinkets, jewelry and would you believe, even drugs!!!  Well worth the stop just for a milkshake made with homemade ice cream.
