It wasn't easy to leave new friends in Lusk, but once they painted my name on the Elks Lodge, it was best to get out of town .. fast.

| A promise made requiring immediate departure from Lusk, WY. Obviously, Jim shows great promise. |
Reluctantly we did, heading north then east into the Black Hills of South Dakota. Pine forests took over from the high plains, giving us more elevation, more easy, non-interstate driving with little traffic. Vistas around every curve. Then, as we began to descend toward Rapid City, a special view of Mt. Rushmore. Showing only the right profile of George Washington, dynamited and chiseled into the side of the mountain, our introduction to the next five days of touring brought excitement to us. There is so much to see and do within an hour's drive of Rapid City. We intend to do it all.
Our location for the first three days will be the Rapid City Elks Lodge RV parking. Located facing the lodge's golf course, we began meeting another crop of nice people, including RV neighbors from Grants Pass, Oregon. Sharing experiences and cold libations with Jerry and Carol was a fun way to end the the 104 degree day.
