That was Ma's reaction when we finished walking around Mt. Rushmore. It was beautiful and the audio tour gave her the ability to "see" and hear the history of things that her body wouldn't let her experience first hand.
We spent the better part of the day driving through Custer State Park through one lane tunnels through mountains and looking for wildlife. Ma is very curiously looking for a mountain goat and we have been told that we hear that they are around, but have yet to find them ourselves. We have found deer, antelope, buffalo and chipmunks (these little guys were very curious and came pretty close to me and the car). I also stopped to see wolves - which were in a fenced preserve.
This rock is called the Needles Eye. We saw climbers getting ready to climb the rocks around this. They were getting ready while I was off taking pictures and Ma said they had so many ropes on then, where were they going.....when I answered up there and pointed she said, "Oh, mercy!"
We ended the night in Keystone for dinner. I have to say if you are in the area and see Peggy's home cooking - RUN THE OTHER WAY! While the food was decent, the service left Ma and I laughing the hour ride to Hot Springs. Needless to say, I wish I had more patience to see the next 4 restaurants down the street. Oh, well, it was a good laugh!
We will see where we end up tomorrow!
Looks like Ma is listening intently she is so cute. The picture of Mt. Rushmore is beautiful.
