Cross Country Day 2

Post date: Sep 12, 2012 6:24:51 PM

Our second day of driving was a lot shorter.  We crossed into South Dakota and spent the day exploring.

This is the South Dakota sign. (Sorry for the terrible picture).Our first stop was Jewel Cave, the second longest cave in the world.  We went down in the cave and hiked up and down  over 700 stairs. 

Waiting for the elevator down.

Down in the cave.  We were glad they had lights.  It was pretty dark when they turned them off.

Down, down and more down. Eventually we will have to go up!

Junior Ranger Seth.  Always has to be at the head of the group.

Jake's too tall!

Bacon anyone?

Heading to the top.

After exploring the caves we went on our way to our next stop.  On the drive we found the Crazy Horse Memorial.  It is still being built, but it was pretty neat to see.

And finally MOUNT RUSHMORE!

Our very tired Junior Rangers.
