Gentleman (and ladies if any viewing) Next year I may well be in Norfolk
Nebraska and I want to go and View Mt Rushmore. so for you locals or those
in the know, what would I expect to pass aviation wise on the road.

Hmmm. Well that would explain why my brother reckons the Badlands was
better.

But there is a walking trail that puts you right under their noses! Takes a
half hour or 45 minutes round trip.

There's the upper walking trail which will take you to the entrance of
the memorial vault. The vault is sometimes opened to visitors and has
all kinds of memorabilia inside.

Say, Glenn, you are coming over from New Zealand?

Why not a bunch of us who are in the area meet up with you and yours at
some central place like the SAC Museum and have an eye-ball get
together. I am sure if you post your times of visit enough in advance,
those of us who are independently wealthy -- errrr, I mean retired
military -- can drive up, down or over to meet up .. should be a fine
party!

Cheers,

Dave
