We awoke to a light rain which continued for most of the day. After breakfast in Lusk we hit the road and headed east to Nebraska. We stopped briefly in Chadron and then headed north bound for SD. The land has returned to a high plains area, but as we neared Custer, SD we got our first glimpse of the Black Hills. As we drove through Wind Cave National Park we saw buffalo grazing at the side of the road! We stopped at the Visitors Center and then continued into Custer to find our next campground.
After setting up we headed into Custer to see what it had to offer and found a couple of neat gift shops. Jamie inquired as to where one might learn how to pan for gold, and Betsy purchased an Effie C. ring. We returned to the trailer for supper and a walk but since we figured we had another hour or two of light we hopped in the truck and headed back to WInd Cave hoping to see more buffalo. We weren't disappointed as you can see from the pictures. We also found some kind of small deer. All we have to find next are the antelope to complete the list of animals mentioned in "Home, Home On The Range". Maybe tomorrow.
