Mt Rushmore one last time and the Devil's coming

We wanted to go to Mt Rushmore one last time before we headed to Devil’s tower. Our check out time was 11 so we could fit one more hike in. The Presidents trail at Mt Rushmore. The trail brought us closer to the monument and ended with a stop at the sculptor’s studio. Through the movie and studio you learn more about the artist that created this beautiful piece of art that's now the legend. This man Gutson Borglum looked at these rocks and saw a vision of four presidents carved in the mountain and how he accomplished it totally AMAZING.

This is the model of Mt Rushmore 

 This is how they measured

Now on to the Devil’s Tower, but wait we can't go through Sturgis without stopping to say we been there, of course we are early for Bike week but that’s ok Steve got a t-shirt to say he was there.

After getting settled into the campground with a great close up view of the Devil’s Tower and only 3 miles and a clear view (felt like we needed to watch “Close Encounter’s of the third kind”) we took a ride in to the park and got our bearings and called it a day. 

Of course on the way back to our campsite we found another prairie town. I just love watching these guys, they are so cute and entertaining.

Look Close you can see him eating a blade of grass

Had a lot of thunder and lighting all around Devil’s tower that night got hit with some bad rain and thunder that would wake you right up. Storms are loud and violent out here.

Sunset from our campground. Good Night.
