We're in Rapid City, South Dakota for a few days being tourist. It's nice and warm so anytime we can find a little air conditioning it is a pleasant break from the heat. Below is a picture of my indoor/outdoor thermometer. 101 outside and 85 in the air conditioned motorhome. Toasty for 8:44 in the morning.
Late in the afternoon we took off to see Mt. Rushmore. We wanted to see the 9:00pm lighting and show. We hiked the Presidential loop trail to the base of the mountain to get a close-up view.
It was a nice little walk through the forest at the base of the mountain. We walked slow and stopped often because we were in no hurry.

They do a very nice program followed by a short outdoor movie. At the end of the movie the sculpture is slowly lit. Very impressive. To close out the presentation they ask all veterans to come down on stage for the lowering of the flag.
It was a moving way to end our day. Life is good.
