Mt. Rushmore, the wind cave, and the mashed potato mountain (Devils Tower)

We took a fun two day trip to Mt. Rushmore and the wind cave, as well as Devils Tower. It was a fast but fun trip! The cave was amazingly huge! A 16 year old boy discovered and mapped a lot of it and it is still being mapped because of how many tunnels there are in the cave. It had the largest amount of box work. We took a picture but I am not sure how much justice the pictures shows. It was beautiful! When we got to the cave we saw lots of buffalo roaming around. We stopped because there were a few hanging out right next to the road! By the time we got to Mt. Rushmore we were all starving and it was getting dark, so we ate at Mt. Rushmore. Maggie calls it Mt. Russia. It was great food. We had buffalo stew, and Seth had that and a buffalo burger. He is always hungry! That night we stayed in a hotel and the next morning on the way home we went to the mashed potato mountain I call it (from Close Encounters of the Third Kind) really called Devils Tower. It was fascinating! Back in the early days, the people around the tower built a wooden ladder to climb up to the top! Crazy people!
