Camping
This was the last night that we camped. It was at a free site in South Dakota. It wasn't much worse than the pay sites we stayed at, but the ground was a fair bit harder and we actually wanted to peg the tents down because of the wind. We did not succeed at pegging the tent very well, but it did not blow away either. We all woke up stiff and sore (I'm not sure that the boys ever wake up stiff and sore) and decided that we would drive all the way through back home after we viewed a couple of places in South Dakota.
In South Dakota we went to the Mammoth dig site, but did not go in (I was feeling really cheap). We did take a picture of the model in the shop. Then we went to the Crazy Horse memorial and paid to go in and learn all about it. Go to my flickr site and I should soon have picture posted of the rock face that they are carving. We did a drive by shooting of the Mount Rushmore, again feeling too cheap and too rushed to spend more time there than just taking a picture. After that we drove to Sioux Falls ate, and drove like crazy back to Canada.
I'll post more pictures and tell more stories about the trip later, The other photos are on Erica's computer because we kept running out of memory (that makes a lot of pictures). These photos on flickr are only the last two days of our vacation.
