Pictures from Day 4


We spent the afternoon at Mt. Rushmore after a leisurely morning at camp. When we first got there, the sky was sunny, but while watching a movie documentary about the creation of the monument, clouds rolled in and we came outside to a completely different view.


Hi-tech camp - the kids compose their blog posts in Word so that they can quickly be pasted into Blogger when we have internet access again.
Below: the narrow, winding Norbeck Highway over Iron Mountain, which connects Custer St. Park to the Rushmore Monument, is laced with narrow tunnels, each framing a view of Rushmore. The sculptor actually helped plan the road!


Before heading out to the next excursion, the kids update the maps in their trip notebooks to highlight our route as we go and add to their journal entries.
