| Still in the mountains and still snow on the ground. |
 |
| This marker commemorates the Civil Conservation Corps Camp F-4, which ended up at the bottom of Pactola Reservoir. |
 |
 It was probably somewhere under there. |
|
| Got to Mount Rushmore a little after noon. Here are the names of all the people who worked on the monument. |
 |
| I an betting H.V. Huntimer was pretty popular with the ladies (and a small percentage of men) and Frank Hudson not so much. |
 |
| The approach to the viewing terrace is lined with state flags. |
 |
| It's good that Mount Rushmore was rebuilt after Michael Moore blew up the Team America base. |
 |
| Snow messing up my plans again. I wanted to walk the trail. |
 |
| The crew who built the memorial had a baseball team that competed against local teams. In 1939 they made it to the semifinal of the South Dakota State Amateur Baseball Tournament. |
 |
| Not too far away from Mount Rushmore is the Crazy Horse Memorial, still under construction. Since it is privately funded through a non-profit, it's probably going to take a while. It was begun in 1948 and just about all there is done is the face. |
 |
| When (and if) completed, it will look like this. |
 |
| This was Crazy Horse's motorcycle. Appropriately, it is an Indian. |
 |
| I'm pretty sure this isn't all the rock from the mountain. |
 |
| There was a film about the guy who started the project. Zorczak Ziolkowski used to have to start this machine, climb up a ladder and start carving. But often the machine would quit by the time he got all the way up. That's why the sign on the exhaust pipe says 'kaput'. |
 |
| Believe it or not, blue sky again! I was originally going to find a place to stay in Rapid City, but then I figured I would stay in Wall, South Dakota, home of the famous Wall Drug. |
 |
| It is more or less a big tourist trap these days with a small shopping mall, gift shops and a restaurant, but it was originally a for-real drug store back in 1931. |
 |
| There is an actual drug store in Wall Drug. |
 |
| It's also a little pharmacy museum. |
 |
| I decided to have a buffalo burger in the restaurant, |
 |
| Wall is a rather small town with a population of less than 900. I would imagine that most of the town works at Wall Drug or one of the handful of motels and gas stations. |
