We left the comfy spot along the highway of Harleys. We went on a quick mountain-bike ride; saw another Buffalo and some Antelope creatures. Once we pumped out the holding tanks we only had to move down 20 miles down the road to our KOA site. Low and behold you can actually build camp grounds with internet. Once we arrived, it was hook-up power, and catch up on the news and emails. We had a couple hours to get some Cheez-Its and beer down, then it was off to Mt Rushmore to see the mountain with faces. We had two hours to kill before the show started, so we walked around the trails and sweated out all that was left of our H2O (I think Sandra has been drinking water on the sly, as she was nowhere near depleted as me). Show was nice, and in the age of Covid, it was also nice to see patriots without face diapers on...ahhh, the America I remember. We're back at the site now, and having a little beer night-cap. Tomorrow....the badlands.
