Woke up early and were wanting to leave the campground by 8. Finishing up the last packing when Hayden came riding up from the bathroom with, "A man fainted in the bathroom and the people down there need you!". Ah, the best laid plans. So, Tom went down, I figured a better bet than a girl doctor going in the men's bathroom. There was a man, unresponsive on the floor unable to be awakened by even a firm sternal rub. So, not much for Tom to do but make sure he was breathing and beating his heart and call 911. My hero! The lady who owned the campsite though, was much appreciative of having a doctor on the premises. We did leave about 15 minutes later than we thought and were glad for all the preparation we did the night before.
We drove through some lovely countryside and saw several herds of pronghorn antelope. Lots of ranches with horses which made Katie want to drive straight through to Peoria so she can see Cricket. We got into Mount Rushmore about 6 p.m. and the guy at our rv park told us to go straight to Mount Rushmore and eat at the cafeteria(cheapest and best food according to him) and then bop around until the night time ceremony. We did just that and the food was good and good size portions with adequate prices. The ceremony was nice and they honored the vets that were in the crowd which was a nice touch. Home late to bed(again). Appears that we will get home late Saturday night which will give us Sunday to unpack and recover a bit before I go to back to work on Monday. Tom, the state worker with more vacation days, will be back Wednesday and I have a whole list of things for him to do, including mandatory dental checks for a few of the children!
