Onward to Mt. Rushmore

After a great time in Yellowstone our vacation then continued with a long drive to Mt. Rushmore. We ended up pitching our tent at 11 PM. We were that late because we stopped at the Battle of Little Bighorn for a few hours. That site was pretty neat to see. It was good to hear the reports of how that battle went. It makes me wonder how things would have gone for the Native Americans if they had not decided to plunder the soldiers after the battle. Sitting Bull apparently claimed to have a vision that they would be able to conquer the white man, but that they should not plunder any of their stuff.
This is a monument that was placed just above the hill where Custer and many others fell.There is a national cemetery their just like the Arlington cometary that is in Washington DC.
