Activity 99 - SD Museum of Geology

In celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the National Park System and the 75th anniversary of the completion of Mount Rushmore, the Mount Rushmore National Memorial has put together a list of 99 activities events, places to visit, or fun things to do throughout the Black Hills of South Dakota and Wyoming.  The Mount Rushmore Memorial has promised a small prize package, and more importantly bragging rights, to whoever completes the largest number of activities. 

After discussing this with my wonderful wife, we decided that we would complete this entire list of activities before the end of 2016.  To increase the commitment even further I started telling everyone I could find (including the head of the Mount Rushmore Memorial) that my family would complete the list. 

I will be periodically posting updates via Twitter (@TrailheadFamily #Activity99) as the activities are completed.  I will also try to keep this blog updated throughout the year.
