1880 Train

1880 Train
This is the last of the place that we visited, the 1880 Train from Hill City to Key Stone, it has the steepest climb from the many train ride that I experienced. It was indeed a nice ride to close the journey.



Mount Rushmore

Mount Rushmore, South Dakota
This is the second time we visited this park, the first being in 1982, what a change from 23 years ago. The avenue of the flags was new and did not exist way back then. We also very fortunate to meet the original Rushmore worker.



Crazy Horse - S. Dakota

Crazy Horse - South Dakota
This is the second attraction after the Devils Tower National Monument, it is located in the Black Hills area of South Dakota. This monument might not be finished in my life time. I believe the financing is through private donation only.
