FULL DESCRIPTION
This was part of the Mount Rushore Tour but that wasn't made clear until we were about to stop at the mine. So, we had vouchers for the tour scheduled for a different day. Of course, we got to see the mine anyway but the time was short and we ended up with a free day because of not needing to go back for this tour.
