Badlands & Mt Rushmore (Day #8)

Miles: 264.3
Wall, SD to Lusk, WY through Badlands & Rushmore

We were up and out early this morning. By 9am we had both gone for a run (separately), showered, had breakfast, walked to Wall Drug, shopped, walked back to the hotel, checked out, and gotten gas! Haha.

We drove through Badlands National Park, Andy had been there before so I walked around a little, but for the most part we just drove through and stopped at the lookouts to take pictures. It was beautiful. It actually looked a lot like Cappadocia, Turkey!

After the Badlands we drove to Mt Rushmore - Andy had been here before so I just got out and walked around it for about 30 minutes while he stayed in the car.

After the presidents, we found a nice place in Keystone to have a picnic, ate a late lunch, and then drove the rest of the way to Lusk, WY. We are staying at a small local hotel called the Lusk Townhouse. We were pleasantly surprised when we got here to see that there are three queen beds in our room! Hadley has already claimed hers!
