>>Anyone been there- seen Mt. Rushmore?
Oh yeah. And it never ceased to thrill me...I'm a sucker for that place.
I lived in Rapid City for 8 years total. I was stationed at Ellsworth twice during my AF career (retired now) My one and only child was born and raised for 7 of her first 8 years there. Her dad's family are all from SD. Love that place. I think the Black Hills are one of the most beautiful places I've ever been/lived, and I've traveled a fair amount...
Miss it now I think about it. I mean, really, who wouldn't miss 40 below wind chills and softball-sized hail...? ;-) I'm teasing (though as you well know those things happen...and worse) - the crazy and extreme weather was well worth the peace, safety and beauty. I always tell people they should visit and that it was an awesome place to raise a child.
ps - and it's great you're feeling more comfortable here...this is a special and good place.
