Today we entered South Dakota. Miles and miles of grassland. We are staying in Rapid City at the nicest Elk's club we have ever seen. They even have a golf course, open to the public also. Full hookups again.

The sculptors for Mt. Rushmore were Gutzon Borglum and 400 volunteers. It took 14 years to construct, 1927-1941, at a cost of almost one million dollars. The mountain is Harney Peak Granite. Most of the new visitor's center is constructed of the same granite.
