Black Hills

It has been a busy few weeks. We finally put the rain and humid weather behind us after leaving Wisconsin and we actually are seeing a lot of sun. So now we start our touring of the northwest U.S. We arrived at Dickenson, North Dakota to check out the Theodore Roosevelt National Park where we saw prairie dogs, wild horses and bison. Wes topped in Medora for lunch and there was Stan and Karen Lubeck (San Juan Trial neighbors) sitting in the same restaurant. We enjoyed lunch together catching up since we left Casa Grande. What a treat.

Now onto the Black Hills.....We started our venture in Spearfish, South Dakota. We found a great RV park in the City of Spearfish Park so we did some relaxing there watching the deer in the Spearfish Creek which was out our back window. We spent a day viewing the beautiful scenery of Spearfish Canyon viewing the Black Hills and waterfalls. Another day we drove to Wyoming to see Devil's Tower. We even took the walking tour around that large rock. Boy do we need the exercise after eating all that Wisconsin food.

We moved onto Hill City, South Dakota to see the attractions around this great country. We went to the Mount Rushmore National Park (breath taking), Crazy Horse National Park (unbelievable), Custer National Park (lots of buffalo, mules and deer), The Presidential Wax Museum (interesting) and took a train ride between Keystone and Hill City (history). The Black Hills are so beautiful winding through the roads connecting these sites. We went through one lane tunnels and saw a lot of wildlife. I feel so fortunate to be able to do these things. Life is so good to us.

Now we are off to see Yellowstone and and Grand Titons. We plan on spending a few days seeing that part of the country. I hope you are all doing well. Don't forget to send me a note. I miss everyone.
