The Great 2025 Rpad Trip Day 6

We were too rushed yesterday so we got up early and set out to drive back thru The Badlands again.  Still amazing. This time we had time to do a couple small hikes.  It felt like being on another planet.  There are no real safety rails and they kinda let you just do whatever. Provided you don't ruin anyone's day by being stupid and dying. 
(I'm not sure why some of these photos are sideways and I can't sort out how to fix on my phone)


As usual the photos just don't do it justice. 

Had some lunch in town and took off to Mt Rushmore.  I was keen to skip it but we made a promise to Uncle B from our last camp to take a photo with his shirts.


Went on to Crazy Horse.  Absolutely loved it.  Well worth the time.  Great museum and a whole lot more.

I don't know that we will see it finished in our lifetime. But I plan to come back.  The museum and grounds were well beyond what we'd expected. 

Drove around the absolutely BEAUTIFUL Black Hills to our next stop for tonight.  Another really nice HipCamp in the mountains 
We are still playing things by ear.  No idea what tomorrow will bring yet.  But we are having a blast!

This is bringing back my favorite parts of hiking The Long Trail.  No real plans aside from Point A to Point B and figure it out the day prior.

And we could not ask for better weather.  Omg it's been glorious.  A little hot today but even so a lovely cool breeze.  Nice and cool at night.  PERFECT  sleeping weather.  I am so happy. If we didn't have my sweet boy waiting at home I'd sell it all and never come home. 

I do miss my little man.
