What a relaxing morning. Arrived into Keystone pretty late last nite, so everyone enjoyed sleeping in and just hanging out in the campground. We had stayed at the campground a couple years back when we went on our Yellowstone trip. Nice place deep in the woods. To our surprise, it is the beginning of the Sturgis Bike thing, so the town and surrounding areas are filling up with bikers, even our campground had quite a few and next week is suppose to be worse! We were lucky to get a spot! Anyway, the girls spent the morning swimming, first time this whole trip I think! After lunch we went to Rushmore Cave. There we had an hour tour of the cave. It was very intersting. Next we went downtown Keystone and shopped, while Paul was able to sit outside on the boardwalk and have a few beers, and then had a family portrait done in the western saloon setting of the olden days!!! I think the alcohol may have influenced Paul just a bit on that! The girls and I dressed as showgirls and Dad was the cowboy! Had a gun and a hat! I really think he enjoyed it. I told him that was going to be our Christmas card this year! After that we tried buffalo burgers for dinner, at least Paul and I did. I thought they were very dry, much rather have our own beef! Then we went to Mt. Rushmore for the light ceremony. How moving! They honored the veterans at the end and sang the Nat’l Anthem. Very much worth the stop! Drove back to our campsite on a windy road that took us through three tunnels that had perfect views of Mt. Rushmore as you drove through, just one more amazing thing to see.
