After viewing Mt. Rushmore, we took a ride into Custer State Park. See if you can guess what song we are thinking of by looking at the next three pictures.
Plus this.
Did you guess the song?
While on our tour, we found the buffalo. It was neat to see so many of them and to have them so close to us. We did feel pretty vulnerable at times while they were marching past us since we didn’t have the safety of a car.
The guy above came to within 10 feet from us. He was a big brute.
We also came across some donkeys that roam free in the park. Originally, they were used to take people on rides through various locations in the park and when they stopped that practice, they just turned them loose. They now beg for food when they see tourist.
After our ride through Custer, we rode on the Needles Highway. It was named for the long needle looking rocks that are native to this region. We also had to drive through several very small tunnels.
We ate supper this evening in Hill City, S.D. at Desperado’s. Great steak and it helped us sleep peacefully after of full day of driving.
