We decided on a low key day today. Our only outing was to the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology Museum of Geology in Rapid City. The museum occupies the top floor of the O'Harra Building, which also houses the registrar and other administrative offices.
We weren't sure what to expect, but we were very impressed. We saw an extensive collection of specimens of unusual, colorful, and varied rocks, minerals, and gems, as you might expect. What we didn't expect was a great collection of fossils, including large dinosaurs and oreodonts and huge fish.
We observed some families touring the museum, with kids who were clearly excited by the exhibits--especially the fossils.
We also got our hair cut, so I'm feeling much less shaggy. Tomorrow we're off to Mount Rushmore and lunch with the Boomers in Rapid City.
