Since I have signal, I figured I'd make a quick post letting you all know we are in the Black Hills and despite deciding not to bother getting into Mt. Rushmore (our park pass doesn't cover national monuments...) we have had a beautiful day. New high for me. First pic is our attempt to ease into extended hiking with our full packs by going to the highest point east of the Rockies. The second pic is a nice flat spot we managed to find for camp. More details to come when we have time.
