Tiny Faces

Our first stop was Deadwood in the Blackhills, an old mining town turned tourist destination. We checked out their museum and an ice cream shop; and drove through the gamblin' part of town. It's actually pretty fun/cute/cool and worth the stop - even if you're not planning to gamble. Also, there is a tv series that takes place in Deadwood.

Next we did the oil change and tire rotation. No comment on the stress this caused us post-service.

And finally we hit Mt Rushmore which is ridiculously tiny. In all the photos they zoom in and make it look like it's the size of Mt Rainer with giant faces carved into it... actually, it's rather small. Admittedly, the engineering feat is pretty impressive.
