Monday Jun 13, we drove from Rock Springs, Wyoming to just north of Custer, South Dakota. We camped at Horse Thief Campground just south of Rapid City and Mount Rushmore. It was a pure driving day only broken up with some grocery shopping in Casper, Wy. The next morning, Jun 14 we visited Mt Rushmore.
The last time we were here was with our good friends the Ryans from MA 25 years ago. The entrance and stone viewing terrace were all new since then.
The obligatory couple pose.
I liked this quote I saw from Thomas Jefferson, especially when he says:"Education for all". Can you feel the Bern?
From Mount Rushmore and Rapid City we headed east on I-90 and stopped at Wall, South Dakota for a revisit to the Wall Drug Store where I saw this interesting sweat shirt.
We ended up in Murdo SD for the night. We had a nice dinner out at the Rusty Spur. The next morning, Jun 15 we headed for MN. On the way we visited a nice rest stop dedicated to Lewis and Clark in Chamberlain SD on the Missouri River
We ended up in Sibley State Park in MN traveling up Route 23 towards St Cloud. We found a very nice state park built by the CCC during the 1930's. It was right on the lake.
The next morning Jun 16 we continued northeast through MN on Route 23 heading for Onamia MN. There we paid our respects to the grave site of Father Jim Cashman, a Crosier priest who married us and was a good friend. Fr Cashman ran the theater program at Stepinac HS in White Plains. Elaine and I met doing summer theater there. Father Cashman had retired back to MN and spent his last years at the Crosier Priory in Onamia MN. We used to call him Cash. His favorite scotch was Grants.
