In the morning, we set out for Mount Rushmore. Wow, it's pretty impressive.

We also saw a few old cars - hey, I heard about these guys from the "1958 Cadillac Owner's Association" mailing list - there's a guy in a 1958 Cadillac driving the tour, but didn't see him - it's a group from Europe, something like 20 or 30 cars, all driving across the USA all the month of July - the
Lincoln Highway Centennial Tour. Yes, all from Europe - cool huh? I just got pictures of a couple of them, but there are bunch more - check out their web site.

Onward to the Crazy Horse memorial, which isn't quite as impressive - well, it will be when it is done - man, how do they ever complete these things, so much material to blast, carve, and move?

| Crazy Horse's face way off in the distance - eventually will be mounted on horse with arm outstretched |
Then we blasted out on the two lane highways, off into Colorado. We stopped for fuel & supper in Boulder, Colorado, and pushed onward. We made it to Las Vegas! Relax - not Nevada, but Las Vegas, New Mexico, near Albuquerque :-)
 |
| Wide open as far as you can see! |
 |
| Small Town USA |
 |
| Country highways - 2 lanes through rolling countryside |
 |
| Back on the Interstate - wide open four lane highway for a hundred miles! |
