The next day we did two interesting cave tours.  The first was Jewel Cave, a National monument and the Wind Vave National Park.  At Wind Cave we were able to stand by the original opening where the cave "breathes."  It blows out or sucks in depending on the barometric pressure. The Lakota tribe believes this is the spot where their creation story begins!

On Saturday morning we left the Black Hills stopping one more time at Mt. Rushmore. 

Next were the Badlands with all their stark beauty.  We had to stop at most of the turnouts to ooh and aah!

We drove all the way to the KOA at the edge of South Dakota in Sioux Falls.

Sunday morning started off well.  It was a big driving day and we thought we could make it all the way to St. Louis! Unfortunately, the warning lights on the dash went on and here we are in Lee's Summit waiting to hear from the Subaru dealer.  The good news is it was only a. 20 mile tow!  Hopefully we will be on our way by this afternoon!
