Keystone to Worthington



Friday, 3rd April: Keystone – Worthington

Got up early, real early.

Pictures at Mount rushmore

Down to Crazy horse memorial – too expensive and not even ready! Nothing like working on a sculpture since 1947 – and too early as bus tours didn't start till 10am.

Went down to windcaves NP – great we saw Bison and wide prairie land

On the interstate to see Badlands – pretty cool and HUGE

Minuteman Missle HQ now a National Monument. The Minutemen were the US defence against Russian nuclear weapons. From receiving the order to launch was 5 minutes. Amazing this is the silos are right by Intestate 90.

Back on the I-90 east and just drove as we could – finally stopped at Worthington, Minnesota

Stayed in the days Inn – no dinner. Watched President Obama's town hall talk to the students of Straasbourg.

440miles
