Today was a quiet day. Bob and Betty went hiking and Jack and I took a scouting trip over to the Mt. Rushmore National Monument. The Visitors Center and all the things to do there are really outstanding. This is especially so because there aren’t nearly as many people there as were over the last couple of days because of the 4th festivities. But, as Jack says, there were still way too many people, so we scouted and left to come back to visit during the lighting ceremony tomorrow evening. It was then lunch in Keystone a touristy cowboy town. We stopped at a woodcarving shop and museum. We didn’t stay long. They wanted $7.50 each even if we only wanted to go into the gift store – ha!

Awesome day, awesome picture
Dinner was an event. We decided to eat outside on the picnic bench. As soon as three of us sat down, down came the bench, and down we went. Could it be that food has been more of a focus than necessary!
Oh yes, Betty and I somewhat redeemed ourselves last night at cribbage: they took us 3 to 5 – but we will live on try it again!
