A Strong Profile...

 

Rufus?  Well, yes, he does have a good profile...

 But, I'm talking about my buddy, George.  A swing by Mt Rushmore on today's ride...

I didn't get out until 11:00 or so - we went out for breakfast, then to the grocery store.  Another hot one today; it was a warm ride.  Getting out later than usual for me, I expected to run into a bunch of traffic, but it wasn't bad.  Well, except for a woman driving an SUV (guess where the plates were from) who stopped in the middle of the road on the single lane portion where you can turn to Iron Mountain Road or go into Keystone.  Stopped.  On a highway.  Only one lane.  Maybe she was deciding which way to go?  Or, she is stupid and shouldn't be driving.

But, other than that, it was a pleasant, but warm, ride.

We get to move back to the civilized part of the resort tomorrow.  I drove by the site we are moving to - it was empty.  I checked at the Reservation Desk to see if it was OK if we moved early (we've done that before).  New girl - going by the book.  Lots of empty sites, so it isn't like they will need that site for someone who wants to come in last minute for one night (that doesn't happen, btw).  "OK - we'll get ourselves moved tomorrow."  Probably just as well: we can move in the morning, before the heat of the day.  Back to a lovely paved, double-width site... and a tree... Rufus will be so happy that he will have his very own tree for the next three weeks.  :-)
