My quest to see Mt. Rushmore this morning was somewhat thwarted by the weather. When I got to the monument this morning the clouds were so thick that I wasn't even sure that Mt. Rushmore existed. While waiting for some clearing there was rain, snow, wind, and temperatures in the mid-thirties. I had to stand and watch for nearly an hour to see the presidents between cloud banks and fog, but it was worth the wait...
I toured the facilities, watched the movie, and was just generally in awe of my surroundings.
From there I drove north to North Dakota, having never been to that state. It wasn't much different from northern South Dakota or eastern Montana, but I'm glad I stopped by. From there I drove west into Montana where there was more of the same...
I'm not sure what this is called in North Dakota and eastern Montana, but I have a feeling that it's either an orchard, or a forest.
I made it as far as Billings, Montana and called it a night. Hope the weather improves a little bit tomorrow.
