June 1, 2015 – Day 1
Arrived at the Adoba Eco Hotel in Rapid City on June 1st, a day later than we planned due to weather related issues with our flights. Rapid City is known as “The City of Presidents”. The project was conceived as a combined artistic, cultural, historic and patriotic approach to economic development. Beginning in 2000, two Presidents from the beginning of the American nation and two from the contemporary past were placed on Rapid City’s downtown streets, with the completion of the project in 2010 with 42 life size statues. In many ways, this project was a major factor in reenergizing Rapid City’s downtown.
Since we had a few hours before dinner, we took a short trolley tour of the city. Beautiful weather.
