Well, on our way to the Wisconsin Dells, we decided to drive through Wyoming and South Dakota and make a stop to see the magnificence of Mount Rushmore. So- after 11 hours of driving, we arrived at our destination at 3:15pm... to this super fabulous view.
And it was also about 45 degrees and raining, and I had assumed that we would never actually need shoes and sock or jackets for at least the first 4 days of the trip, so we were able to dig out just enough not to freeze. Very very disappointing to me. And after we went through their museum, which is really only a hallway with some history of the sculpture) we went back to the view in homes that the fog might have cleared a bit to discover that it had only gotten thicker. I left in very grumpy spirits and at the hotel that night Gavin asked when we were going to see the mountain with the president's faces on it... BOOO! The good news is that they give you a pass for the $10 you pay to see nothing, that allows you to get back in for the rest of the calendar year, since so many people are going to drive back to the absolute middle of nowhere several times in a year!
