We drove from the Badlands to Mount Rushmore. Took a couple hours but the trip wasn't awful. Along the way we stopped in at Hall Drugs (a South of the Border type touristy trap) and nearly bought ourselves a pet jackalope (for those of you who don't believe they're real, check out the photos below.
Mount Rushmore is, in a word, amazing. The work took 14 years to create and not a life was lost. Well, not a human life in any event. The photos don't even begin to capture the enormity of 60-foot faces etched into the mountain's face.
We also had a taste of Teddy Roosevelt's favorite stew: Bison. Damn, it was good.
