The Badlands |
Welcome to Country Charm! |
Chuck and the Mutiny all settled in. |
We had the whole place to ourselves and enjoyed some seriously dark nights with millions of stars and the wind whispering through the pine boughs. |
Avi was thrilled to be able to roll in the grass and flowers. |
Our view most mornings. |
View from my yoga mat. |
An active dig site...you get fairly close and the tour is very informative. |
We were here in the middle of June 2013...and the timing was perfect. |
Everyone's shedding their winter coats. |
Iron Mountain Road (aka Highway 16A) is a fun way to get to Mt. Rushmore. It's a series 4 tunnels which frame Mt. Rushmore. It also has a couple of Pig-tail turns which are hairpin turns with steep gains (or losses) in elevation. |
NOT RV friendly... |
Ta-Da! |
A profile view of Washington from a side road. |
It was quite surprising that Rushmore isn't quite as big as we had imagined and it kind of blends in a bit with the surrounding mountains. |
The model (foreground) and the real deal (background). |
Cleo has no interest in accompanying us on our side trips in the Jeep (Chuck). She wants to be home in the Mutiny. For this reason, most of our excursions tend to be under 6 hours. |
Now this is relaxing! |
