What a great week with the Escapees RV Club in Gillette Wyoming. Who knew there was so much to learn! Many thanks to the RV Boot Camp Instructors for all the great tips and experiences shared! The rally ended with a trip to the great monuments of South Dakota. We were so inspired by the story of the Lakota Indians and there commitment to having a memorial representing their great heroes. The memorial at Crazy Horse, SD has been under construction with no government assistance since the late 1940's out of the dream of a Lakota Chief and the commitment of a polish sculptor. Today his children continue his legacy to complete the memorial, a task which will likely take another 25 or more years! For more information go to http://www.crazyhorsememorial.org
Scurrying around on the ground were there adorable little furry friends who came out of their holes to check us out. They are marmots and they all around the memorial sunning themselves.
Equal in grandeur but completed with federal dollars is the Presidents Memorial at Mt Rushmore. Every angle presented a different perspective of the men who left as much of a mark on history as their images have on this mountain. Now we are off to Yellowstone National Park, the never-neverland of internet and cell signals, so we will probably be offline for a week or two! Yikes!
Until then... Laura, Geoff & Yoshi
