Badlands, Mt Rushmore and onto Denver

OK so I got to the badlands before on my last blog and then I tried to update it and wrote shed loads and the computer got cut off! so all my efforts were lost but ill try to mention most of the things I did here.... After the badlands I drove To mount rushmore which was pretty amazing but the meaning of teh whole thing was lame and the fact you couldnt get up close to it sucked but apart from that it was a spectacle and teh whole history behind its making was phenominal, the use of TNT and that 90% of the work was done by explosives and then the info on their being an inscription their but they had to blow up and move one of teh faces of teh presidentr because the rock was to brittle took up the room for the inscription. Also the designer wasnt sure weather to include abraham with or without a beard! and the fact it cost over $900,000,000 to make it was pretty crazy :S After this we hit subway with some $5 footlongs and I drove on through the black hills which were steep and bendy, their were several bits with one way tunnels where you had to honk the horn and it was a kool road to drive on with a amazing view, during this drive we saw gophers on the plains, wild horses, a herd of buffalo which we had to stop for, and I nearly hit a fleet of Elk that dashed out infront of me which was scary! This was a really kool part of the trip as we saw little big horn and custers last stand, it was surreal as you could almost tell from the plains that it was fighting ground! I then drove on all the way through wyoming which was one massive straight road with a train track alongside it and probly the biggest freight train ive ever seen with over 100 carriages! This was a fun easy drive as I could hit 90mph all the way and not worry about the cops as I could see for miles!
