SPEARFISH TO CHAMBERLAIN--DAY4


Day 4 and we're tucked in for the night across the wide Missouri! We're in Chamberlain, South Dakota. We've been more than impressed with the Great Plains! They're beautiful. We were treated to a horrendous thunder, lightning and rain storm as we were leaving Rapid City. It continued until we got to Wall Drug (What a fun place!) and then the sun came out and shone brightly all the way to Chamberlain.

We did the real tourist bit today. First we visited Deadwood. It's famous for:



And wonderful museums, gambling and saloons!
Then we went to Crazy Horse monument and were very impressed. It outshone Mt. Rushmore. My picture of Crazy Horse isn't great. Sorry. This is a replica of what it will look like when finished.

Mt. Rushmore was beautiful! Not exactly what I expected but an awesome undertaking. A group (Brule) was playing at the site. They're Native Americans and their music was beautiful.
