City of Presidents Walk
Rapid City SD – September 2021
Rapid City SD bills itself the “City of Presidents”, and there are statues of all the presidents (President Trump is not there yet) on different street corners in the middle of downtown. It’s a neat idea. So I took about an hour and a half to walk all over downtown and take pictures of all of them. Here are my favorites:
Rushmore Plaza Civic Center
Mary Jean, her daughter Melissa and her friend Pat saw Elvis Presley in concert at this venue in June 1977, just a few weeks before he died.
National Presidential Wax Museum
Keystone SD – September 2021
Mt. Rushmore
Keystone SD – September 2021
This is the #1 highlight of the trip for me. I have been wanting to see Mt. Rushmore for so long – and now we have seen it! We arrived in the afternoon so I got pictures with afternoon shadows on the statues. We went back early next morning and the early morning sun gave us excellent pictures!
