I can see clearly now - a trip to Rapid City

Well, we finally decided to have the windshield on the Tracker replaced today.  That chewed up the morning and part of the afternoon and there was a chance of showers and temps in the 80's so we decided to head to Rapid City to get some shopping done and a little sight seeing.

As we pass thru Hill City there are 2 horses running down the middle of the road
They were running in and out of traffic so I called 911.  Eventually some people were able to herd them out of the highway and down a dirt road

Since it is 90's in Rapid we start out at the Journey Museum and museum covering the history of the Black Hills from the day of the Dinosaurs to the present day 



They have a large Indian artifact section 

The TeePee has a Hologram old Indian woman to tells stories of the Lakota Tribe 


Main Street Rapid City in the Historic District has a statue of each of the Presidents of the United States

Me with Woodrow Wilson - I've been told that we're related - can you see the resemblance? 

We also visit the school of geology and their free geology museum

and Dinosaur Park 

We end the day with Dinner at Sanfords - Home of the $1.00 beer.  The place is really cool and the food was great.  I had an open face grilled chicken sandwich smothered with green chili, nacho cheese and Frito's - Yum! 

Oh No!  Look who drove in!  That dastardly Jack! 


Till Later,

Meanwhile we keep on Trek'n
