This morning we took another scenic drive this time through the Blacks Hills of South Dakota and then headed into the old western town of Deadwood which now is full of casinos. We took a bus tour of the town and Mt. Moriah Cemetery also known as Boot Hill. We saw the graves of Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane. Then we watched a reenactment of the assasination of Hickok in Saloon No. Ten.

In the afternoon we checked into our hotel in Rapid City, South Dakota and visited the unbelievable Mount Rushmore National Monument. We took a walk around the base and climbed 400 steps up and down. The details of the faces are incredible especially considering 90% of the work was done with dynamite.
