We decided to take advantage of our VIP pass so we headed off to Keystone. At Keystone, we took in the Presidential Wax Museum. John and I very much enjoyed it. They use a state of the art narration system and all presidents are represented in life size wax figures. They also have a very moving exhibit on Ground Zero. Here is a link to the Presidential Wax Museum if you would like more information.
We then went to the Gutzon Borglum Museum. Gutzon Borglum was a magnificent sculptor/artist of many mediums but is best known as the sculptor of Mount Rushmore. This would be a good stop before going up to Mount Rushmore to see his handiwork first hand. The man was incredibly talented and his work is displayed in many locations around the world. His bronze of Abraham Lincoln sitting on a bench contemplating the casualties of the Civil War is incredibly beautiful. We also learned that Borglum's grandson still lives in the family home in Hermosa, a city east of Keystone.
We stopped for lunch and then headed home. We sat outside enjoying the beautiful day. Barbara told us that the last Workkamper couple had arrived. We were able to meet them later in the evening. After dinner, we went over to Ray and Barbara's and sat outside chatting for a while. As we headed in, we noticed that Faye and Marshall were out so we went to say hello. They were cleaning the nice five nice trout they had caught. They had gone fishing three days in a row and had caught fish each time. I think they are well stocked on fish for a while.
Before we knew it, it was bedtime. A full lovely day.
