K: The Black Hills of South Dakota are beautiful. Data and wireless are scarce which if it weren't for this blog would be great. I feel like I am in a vast petting zoo. The bison greeted us roadside as we entered Custer State Park. Several were roaming campsites. After a visit from the bison, a herd of mountain goats toured our camp last eve. Today wild turkeys.
On the scenic Wildlife Loop Road, we spotted herds of bison, mule deer, pronghorn antelope and, of course, the begging burros. When there are three burros with their heads in your car, tongues outstretched, you know they must have been tamed by the tourists.
And, I wonder how many "campers" are golfers. We are! Got in 18 holes today at the #1 rated public course in South Dakota, Red Rock. Bringing the clubs has paid off.
V: Driving, driving to the campsite ... wait, what was that? ... House of Scandinavia in Rapid City! We are turning around! Let' s buy some ost, kaviar, og fiskeballer! Yum, yum, fish balls for dinner last eve! And bison steak on the grill tonite ... with some steamed asparagus, and, of course, a sip or two of some vino tinto el boxo. Rain coming in tonight. We will see how the girl does camping in less than perfect conditions! And how fast she can help break camp in the morning as we attempt to beat the snow due to arrive, and head to Boulder.
Day Four and Five Highlights:
Camping at Custer State Park - two nights. Mt Rushmore and Crazy Horse Monuments. Wildlife Loop with so much wildlife. Needles Highway. Golf in the Black Hills.
