Slidin' and Drivin'

Today was the last full day that we are going to be in the Black Hills. It has been fun. We went to the President's Alpine Slide. That was pretty fun. We all went up to the top and from there you had a pretty good view of the valley. Then my wife, my oldest son, and I took the alpine slide down and the rest went back down on the gondola. After that we had a quick lunch. Unfortunately, when we got back out, we realized that we had a flat. So I changed a tire and we decided that we should get it fixed so just in case we had a problem driving back, we would still have a spare. So back up to Rapid City to get it fixed. Of course when we get there and the look at the tire, the hole was in the side wall, which means we had to get a new tire. Bummer. So that took a few hours. We drove back and picked up the rest at the hotel and went back to Mt. Rushmore for another quick glance. After that we went on Iron Mountain Road and came back to the hotel. Then we went for a quick dip and that was the evening. Tomorrow we are going to leave and drive back to Ft. Collins. It has been a fun Vacation.
