Today was a rest day, but spent it cycling to Mt. Rushmore. From our Rapid City host's house the round trip excursion was about 30 miles. Mt. Rushmore is something I always wanted to see and I was most impressed upon seeing it from a distance, as I approached the site on my bike, but once I got into the park area I was less impressed, nevertheless I was glad to have seen it. I also checked out the museum and watched two films on the construction of the monument showing in the museum's theater. Hey, at least I learned something about U.S. history today. My biggest complain about cycling touring is the lack of intellectual stimulation.
