Roaming with the Herd

Mt. Rushmore at sunset before the lighting.

Mt. Rushmore at the third lighting stage. Amazing!

June 20: We were in Deadwood SD. Went to a place called 'Kitty Saloon' and did some gambling. Tom put in $20 and won $198.00. He was paid out of the machine in silver dollars, so we had to cash them in for paper. I won about $80. Deadwood was a fun place. Then we went to Mt Rushmore. This was Sat June 20Th. Jeanne'

June 21: This is Mt Rushmore in the evening, just before the lighting of the Mountian. This was on Sunday night June 21. We would have sent there sooner but we were in the mt. and had no service. At the lighting it goes in three stages and this is the last one. It was so amazing. Everyone should see this. We also went to the monument that is being made of Crazy Horse. They have just the head done another amazing place. love ya ! Jeanne'

June 23: Monday morning we were driving up Big Horn mountain, about 13,167. High, really scary. Going up is beautiful, looking down is WOW. Coming down, oh my gosh, it was so scary. Grades of 10% down for about 14 miles. We did that for about ten times. Then grades went to 8% for about 6 miles. We did that about 6 times. Brakes we could smell. Thank goodness for the jake brake. They even said cars use low gears. They had pull offs so your brakes could cool. And at one point, at about 9,380 ft we stopped and threw snow. There was alot of it all around. And now were just outside a town called Cody, Wyoming in a valley called Wapiti in a nice park. Were going to go into Yellowstone today. Jeanne'
