Day 21
Rapid City - rest day
We left the dorms at 8am for a bus ride to Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse. The Monument was awesome. It is hard to believe that you can carve a statue out of a mountain. Crazy Horse is still under construction. Crazy Horse will be much larger than the presidents. Only the face is completed at this time.
Back to the dorms at noon to do my domestic chores. Cleaning the bike, washing clothes and doing any needed shopping.
Our next set of rides days is 6 days long. We start out across the bad lands of South Dakota. Jorie in our group though that they were named that because the bad cowboys hid out there.... Actually they are named that because nothing grows there.
It will be early to bed and early, 4:30am, to rise to beat the heat tomorrow.
