Our 7am alarm wakes us to an overcast Rapid City. With this weather, there's no hope we'll be making better photos at the Mt Rushmore Memorial, so we head of to Crazy Horse. It's SUPER BIG. Amazing. Still not finished, but very impressive already. A bit sad we couldn't get very close to it. Another downside was the temperature, at 35 degrees Fahrenheit we were freezing! There even was a thin layer of snow. But we're now able to say we were there.

We drove around the beautiful Black Hills in our Mustang and headed to Wyoming. On our way there, we passed by the Jewel Cave. Not wanting to pass up the opportunity, we stopped here and signed up for a tour. Quite the disappointment: we got on an elevator that went down some 300 feet. After entering a pretty big cave and listening to the guide tell us about its origins we had to get back to the elevator to go upstairs again. The cave looked very impressive and Pim and I were excited to explore further but the platform was all we were going to get. Major bummer, so we left disappointed.
We continued on the 16 to Wyoming and visited Newcastle. After Newcastle, we went down south and drove back into South Dakota via Edgemont and Hot Springs. The temperature was rising so we opened the top again. Cruise mode engaged. We drove to Custer State Park and did the 18 mile Wildlife loop. The Black Hills themselves are quite stunning already but this part was truly breathtaking. We encountered lots of deer, buffalo, burros and pronghorns. Cruising at 20 mph with the top down and the sun shining this was some quality nature time.
