We happen to stop for this pic & came across a benchmark (no GPS needed).
When we saw the first group of prong-horn antelope I made Deb pull over so I could snap a photo.
We wasted a good hour of me trying to get one. I'm not sure I ever did but i managed to snap one of a prairie dog, ground squirrel, chipmunk or something in that general family (if your recognize what it is please feel free to let me know) I didn't know that for the next 500 miles that the country side was going to be covered in mule deer. We even saw one standing by the road in town and I made Deb turn around. We both thought it was a statue until I opened my door and he took off. If your a hunter in Wyoming and you can't bag a mule deer you need to hang it up.
We stopped at a road side park to stretch our legs and it wound up being Independence rock.
We took a quick walk and snapped some photos and read up on the history of the area. Then it was back on the road.
We crossed into South Dakota and hit up the Crazy Horse monument. It is an awesome sight and the story is amazing. Since it has taken over 50 years to complete just the head I doubt I will see it completed in my life time.
It is so large Mt Rushmore will fit in the back of the head of Crazy Horse. We drove towards Mt Rushmore and decided since the fog rolled in we would hit it in the morning. Deb sprang for a hotel in Keystone, we grabbed dinner, hit some shops, and plan on checking out Mt. Rushmore in the morning before heading south.
