After breakfast in Wall, we headed west to Rapid City and then to tonight's destination, Allen Gulch Cabins in Hill City, SD. We made my first yarn store stop at SlipKnits in Rapid City where I bought a skein of the shop's own hand dyed yarn. That's the ultimate in local "souvenir yarn." And according to the universal law that there is always a brewpub within a few blocks of a yarn store, Bruce found Log Cabin Brewpub to hang out in while I shopped for yarn. After checking in to our cabin and chatting with Maggie, the owner's mother and bartender at the resort's taproom, we walked along the town's main street and did a little shopping. Supper was at the much-recommended Alpine Inn, where there are only two choices: a vegetarian option of German dumplings and a bacon-wrapped filet with lettuce wedge and baked potato. Guess which one we got. The restaurant is in an old hotel, and the ambience is warm and cozy. After supper, we drove to Mount Rushmore to see it lit up at night. Unfortunately, the evening ceremony that everyone told us not to miss was not available this early in May.
