Day 7

On day 7 we left Sioux Falls and drove to Keystone to see Mr. Rushmore. The campsite in Sioux Falls was ok. It had a pool and hot tub, but the pool had a rat in it. That didn't stop us from swimming because we didn't find it until we were in the water. We told the people in charge in hopes that we would get something free out of it, but they just responded "It is probably a gopher" but we were right in the end b/c it was a big stinking' rat.

On the way to Keystone we saw hundreds of billboards for what we thought was a drug store called wall drug. If you check out our flickr site you can see tons of pics of the various sign, and these pictures were taken literally in the last five minutes before we actually reach Wall Drug. Before this point there were easily ten times as many.

Wall Drug was a big fake cowboy town. We decided it just a crappy wanna-be Texas. They had overpriced cowboy clothing, fake gold mining, and free ice weather which wasn't actually ice water but rather cold water. Needless to say we didn't have any.Many of the stores in Wall Drug smelled bad. We decided it was like a mix between vomit and sugar. By far the best smelling room was the bathroom which smelled of lickerish and lollipops. There was a wax museums but it smelled to bad to go in and was mostly a store anyways. It didn't look to be inhabited by many persons of waxy persuasion.

When we got to Mt. Rushmore, we were very disappointed. The faces are much much much smaller than we had expected, and parking was $8.00 so just drove around and took pictures. We shall not justify it with any further mention here.

The campsite was supposed to be 2mi away according to goggle maps, but it took us over an hour to find it. It was down a long winding narrow road that made Noah sick to his stomach. The nice thing about the campsite was that it had free mini-golf and a small pool.

Thats about it.
