Rumpas Room392 viewsOK, I don't know the official name of this room, but Cathy and William are posing in it. This is supposedly the last place Elvis spent time with friends before he died.

Bend in the Bridge390 viewsOne very unique thing about this bridge is that there is a bend (turn) in the middle of it. This was to help with boats navigating the river, but must have made driving tricky. The bridge itself wasn't much wider than a modern traffic lane, but held two lanes of opposing traffic.

Balanced Rock390 viewsThe famous rock, that everyone has to take a picture of as if they're holding it up. We resisted the temptation.

Minuteman Missile388 viewsPerhaps most interesting, however (perhaps due to growing up at the tail-end of the Cold War, with Ronnie Regan at the helm) was this Minuteman missile. These missiles were placed in silos all over North and South Dakota, and were a large part of our "Balance of Terror" defense. It's good to see so many of them decommissioned now. Supposedly they're also turning two old silos near the Badlands into a National Park.

Victory Pose388 viewsThis was one of the best places to pose with the ship, so we took advantage of it and took a few shots.
