Today may have been the busiest day yet. We started out our day in Fort Collins, Colorado. We drove back into Wyoming and decided to quick run into Nebraska. The quick trip turned into several hours. We went to Agate Fossil Beds in Agate, Nebraska which was a bit of a drive through no mans land. This National Monument was really cool and we saw a petrified beaver den, dinosaur bones, and signs warning about rattlesnakes. We then drove back into Wyoming and went to Fort Laramie. This one was Christopher's favorite and he thought it was even better than Alcatraz. There were lots of period actors who were washing clothes, running to store, checking wagons, and all that stuff. Then it was off to Guernsey to see the wagon ruts from the Oregon trail. Next it was off to Mt. Rushmore. There we found way too many people. Who knew the lighting of the mountain was so popular? We did the Jr. Ranger thing and left there around 10:15. All of us are ready for bed! Tomorrow we are going to the Bad lands heading across SD with Fargo and then Detroit Lakes, MN in mind. If all goes according to a very tentative plan, we will go to Young Lifes Castaway Club and take a walk down memory lane.
