Pigtail Bridges, Switchbacks, and Scary Tunnels, Oh my!

Leaving Mount Rushmore, we drove the famous Iron Mountain Road, which was allegedly designed to aid in the enjoyment of the natural beauty. Thankfully, we were in the car, and not the motorhome. (the scary drive in the motorhome comes in a few days, so stay tuned)

To add to the “enjoyment”, there were several tunnels that only allow for one car to pass through at a time. These tunnels are cool, as they frame Mount Rushmore in the distance. However, before entering the tunnel, you are supposed to beep the horn to alert the oncoming traffic. Yeah, our car horn doesn’t work.

We're going in, horn or no horn!
