Day 21 – Mt Rushmore SD

Bill left to run the bad starter back to Napa in Rapid City for his $50 rebate. I slept in for a bit. He also went to the Borglum Museum in Keystone on the way home. I tidied up, read a bit, chatted with Mandy.

At 1 we drove into Hill City to the Alpine Inn for lunch. It was really quite good and inexpensive. I had käse schnitzel – the German equivalent to our mac and cheese, and it was as good as it was in Germany. It came with a single bratwurst that was good, too. So it was a pleasant lunch.

Then we went to the train station to catch the 1880 Black Hills train. The train wasn’t over-crowded which was nice. We had a round trip between Hill City and Keystone. It was a pleasant enough 2 ½ hour trip, but I wouldn’t do it again. We did see some deer and a fawn, but there wasn’t much more to see.

We got back to the RV at 6. Bill wandered down to the movie theater here to see “National Treasure 2”. I decided to pass and upgrade the blog and post some photos which are at the end of the Rushmore Area link to the left.
