The weather in South Dakota has been cold and rainy (with snow in the higher elevations). We decided to get out early this morning and drive an interesting southern hills route. Our first stop was Rockerville.
Original buildings from boom times in Rockerville. These two pictures are examples from an era when the town earned its name by having numerous "rockers" to settle the gold out of the sand and gravel. I couldn't get a picture of the classic jail built into the side of a hill. Unless you had plenty of tunneling experience escape was impossible.
Driving through the National Forest the haze was amazing on Mt. Rushmore. We are probably about 3 miles away in these two pictures.
