2021 Fall Trip - Day 29 - 9/21/2021

Tuesday, Sept. 21, 2021 - Down Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway to Mount Rushmore National Memorial, then Crazy Horse Memorial, then back into Wyoming (Jay Em, Wyoming) - 238 miles:

Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, on the road at 9:30 AM:

Going down Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway, I had planned at stopping at Spearfish Falls, but we got distracted and stopped at Roughlock Falls first:

We then headed back down the road to Spearfish Falls:

It was a lovely hike down along Spearfish Creek:

We headed down the road:

To Mount Rushmore National Memorial:

18 miles down the road is the Crazy Horse Memorial:

Yes, it is tragic what we did to the original inhabitants of this continent.

We drove back into Wyoming, down to the town of Jay Em:

Unfortunately, the Post Office closed at noon (it is now 4:30), so I called Jane for directions. In writing this blog, it takes a bit of decision-making to select the right pictures to illustrate their roads-and-neighborhood:

WE ARRIVED right at 5 PM:

I believe John and Jane's "grocery shopping schedule" is different from mine and Wendy's:

BUT THE HOSPITALITY WAS EXCEPTIONAL!!!

It is GREAT to spend time with old friends! Thank you God for this wonderful adventure day with my Beautiful Bride!
