| Devils Tower |

| Dan the the "Big Heads" |
Today was another incredible day. It started with going to
Devils Tower. We went on a "Ranger Walk", and our ranger was a Lakota
Indian. It was a neat to hear his point of view about the legends and myths of
Devils Tower. There were several rock climbers actually climbing the tower—they
are crazy! On our way to Mount Rushmore, we made a little detour to the
geographical center of the fifty United States, in Belle Fourche, South Dakota.
We were too close not to stop. Then it was on to the “Big Heads”. Wow, is all I
can really say! We stayed for an evening program about Mount Rushmore, and then
they illuminate the presidents. It was beautiful, but what was even more
special was that they asked all veterans and active military people to come up
on stage. There were over 75 that went up on the stage. They lowered the flag
for the night, and then we all sang the “Star Spangled Banner”. We were able to
meet up with Dan’s cousin, Deb, and her family at Mount Rushmore also. It was
fun to hang out with them for a few hours. (We didn’t get to our hotel until
around 11pm, so that is the reason for the delay in this blog posting.)
