Custer State Park

Sat 26 - Custer State Park

After a quiet morning at camp, we started out on the day's adventure with hiking boots on and a picnic lunch packed. Buffalo, wild donkey, mule, elk, and prairie dogs were supposedly plentiful on the wildlife loop through Custer State Park. We stopped along a sweet babbling brook for lunch, a Frisbee toss, and Solo had a swim. We were holding our breath as Billy navigated through the peaks and troughs of the Black Hills National Forest. The unsuspecting tourists traveled a winding road, and through a narrow tunnel, which opened up to a spectacular first sighting of the Mt. Rushmore Memorial. We walked around the memorial, took some pictures, bought some ice cream, watched the video and headed back to camp. Spaghetti with meat sauce never tasted so good. We threw garlic bread wrapped in foil off to the side of the fire, tossed a salad and ate like we were at the Ritz! A group of college kids from the Midwest set up camp behind us, and provided hours of entertainment. They were wasted!
