Rest Day - July 19 Black Hills

Today Ken and Nancy rented vans and brought us touring through the Black Hills National Park, Custer State Park, Crazy Horse and Mount Rushmore. It was nice to tour without the bicycles for a day. And tomorrow is another rest day, our only back to back rest days on the trip.

Thank you Ken and Nancy for organizing such a beautiful day. I’m exhausted just from looking.

Did you ask the buffalo if his great grandfather posed for the nickel? Take a look.Don't you think there is a family resemblance http://www.buffalonickel.com/
