Mt. Rushmore

We worshiped Sunday morning with the Southside congregation in Rapid City. I even met a few people who knew where Hohenwald was located! :)

Bison stew---yum! :)

Dad and Mom are trying to figure out the binoculars.


Beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota

One of the men (Nick Clifford) who helped create Mt. Rushmore was in the gift shop signing books. He worked on the monument from 1938-1941. After that, he served in Europe during World War II.

"Lost my heart in the Black Hills, the Black Hills of Dakota. Where the pines are so high that they kiss the skies above. And when I get that lonesome feeling, and I'm miles away from home, I hear the sound of the mystic mountains callin' me back home."
