Travel Story: South Dakota
Ever since I saw Alfred Hitchcock’s movie North by Northwest with Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint hanging on for dear life to the presidential visages on Mt. Rushmore, I wanted to visit the national monument. Then Coronadans Mary Sandermann and Verda Flannery both told me in no uncertain terms to include a trip to their native state on my yearlong cross-country escapade. “You’ll love the Black Hills,” Mary said, her eyes wide to convey the wonder of it all. “They’re breathtakingly beautiful.”
