Return to SD, Day 2, 9-25-09

Today, We set out on a quest to find penny mashers. We checked pennycollector.com and made a list. First stop was Cabela's, their penny masher was out of order. Next up , Dinosaur Park. John mashed a few, and I got some pictures of concrete dinosaurs.


From there we went south on Sky Line Drive, to 16. Next we headed for Hermosa to catch 36 west into Custer State Park, then up Iron Mountain Road, 16A.

16A is an awesome road. Signs like this are all over the place.

Mt. Rushmore in the distance.

Pig tail bridges.

After 16A, we ended up in Keystone. Found a few more penny mashers. We took 323 across to Hill City. We had lunch at Rico's, I had a carnitas burito, covered in green sauce, with rice and beans..mmmmm...
After lunch we walked around Hill City before heading up 385 to Deadwood, then 14 to Sturgis. We got a room at the Best Western Sturgis Inn. We'll stay here until monday, a.m.
Here's a few pics of John's mashed penny collection from this trip.


Tonight we're going to Deadwood for a while.
