The Blackhills
This is a top pick! ... a couple of shots of Jagmeister & red bull, surprisingly tasty. The weather has been sunny but windy and the food plentiful and ok. Rapid City is very sprawled and without a car is very hard to get around. Every second shop sells car parts & the ...
Rapid City - Mt Rushmore
This is a top pick! ... at Rapid City at about 17:00 on Monday evening, just as it started to rain. We opted for the taxi to the motel (no hostel in Rapid City), a wise decision as the rain was just the start of a big storm that swept across the mid-west - the lighting was very ...
Day 3 - where to start, the jigsaw of course
... 8211; only three seats across and have to duck! Tina was worried but it seems ok. Bumpy ride, no meals or entertainment. Apparently Rapid City is 3 degrees and snowing. Oh dear. Pausing now as starting descent to Rapid City…. Ok so Rapid City was in ...
You Want Me to Do What With That Snow?
It was the Christmas holiday, and my college roommate, a little more than a year out of Calcutta (Kolkata), India, was about to stay at school for the break. Not on my watch. I asked him to come home to South Dakota with me. He wasn't real sure about ...
Badlands Mount Rushmore and a lost wallet

Rapid City
Today I went to see Crazy Horse and Mount Rushmore. 1 a white mans memorial and the other a red mans memorial. Maybe the glitz and glamour has worn off the Rushmore Memorial but Crazy Horse was definately more appealing. Not only is it much larger (all 4 ...
SD Day
... So I'm heading to South Dakota. I could stay here 1 more day but it wouldn't be useful so I head on. 6 p.m.: We're here in Rapid City. I am going across the street to a simple diner to get some food and then I'll be watchin some tv and get a good ...
Wild Bill Hickock
We awoke in our little cozy tent to rain. We were happily dry and warm though. After subsiding we made some haste to break camp. We left not a trace but we did leave a pretty sweet pile of wood for the next travelers along the ...
Deadwood & a drive round the Black hills
Drove to Deadwood where in 1800's a gold rush kicked off and wild west people gambled and shot each other, the place was a bit of a disappointment really, just wild west looking casinos and trying hard to make it a tourist attraction so we had lunch in ...
Its all just rocks, but what rocks!
This is a top pick! ... a big operation! Anyway, with all the rocks we saw today, we didnt maanage to make a lot of progress towards NY, so here we are in Rapid City. Went to the recommended place to eat, and on the beer list was a "Pile of Dirt" Porter, so I couldnt resist. ...
We are out of Wisconsin
Stayed in a Walmart parking lot Sat. night. Campgrouds were full. We were in Sioux Falls SD. Traveled to the Bad Lands and camped Sun night. Heading to the black hills and we are going to see Mt. Rushmoore tonight and find a quiet place that has ...
Sous Dakota!
OK! I've been here for way too long to JUST NOW be writing an entry. =o But oh well, this blog is about Panama, so technically this isnt the travel blog proper. South Dakota has been awesome. Many awesome things have happened. The awesomest of ...
RAPID CITY BECOMES OUR TEMPORARY HOME
... right across from a town park with Canyon Lake and Pactola River running through it. Trout fishing right across the street right in Rapid City! That is mountain living. We wanted to make sure we did not loose the food in our refridge or ...
Needles Highway
Thursday August 5th 2010 When Guston Borglum, artist of Mt. Rushmore, was contacted by the Governor of South Dakota, he was asked to sculpt the "needles" into heroes of the West. Borglum found the rock in the "Needles" to be too compromised by ...

Rapido City - still
... the blog (which is really helpful to me in the sense that I can read up where I've been and what I did). I realized only yesterday that Rapid City is close to Mt Rushmore so I thought to check it out. They are milking this cow for as much as they can. ...

Fort Hays
... will definitely be a part of our future, but we're looking forward to getting back to Park City for the fall. We made it to Rapid City, SD this afternoon. We didn't do much when we got in. We did drive down to a memorial site. I found out from ...
Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and Deadwood
We never anticipated how deeply moved we would be by our visit to Mount Rushmore. Far from being "only some carvings in rocks" we were deeply moved by the whole experience. Learning why the presidents were selected made us very proud of our country and ...
Mallory's Birthday in Rapid City!
... 1973, and maybe one of those Spanish bull-riding games. Sorry, Marvin. By the way, just en casa I ever decide to relocate to Rapid City, I've thought of a money-making scheme. I'll open up my own ice cream shop and call it "Frozen Custers." HaHa...I ...
Finally, a hotspot!

Hey Rushmore, why the long face
... the cities, it's the countryside. Chain restaurants have made all cities seem alike. Ask about a steakhouse in Denver or Rapid City and you'll get directed to Outback. It seem like the local color is fading. The scenery; however' ...
