There sure is a lot to see around here! Yesterday we spent most of the day on the road looking at the sights and we're doing same thing today. We first saw the Crazy Horse Memorial and the fantastic museum. If you're not familiar with the history of the memorial just Google Crazy Horse Memorial. It's really an amazing story. Next we headed for Custer State Park to drive the Wildlife Loop but unfortunately timed it incorrectly and saw only antelope, wild burro, and one single solitary buffalo taking a nap.
On our way out of the park we followed a dirt road up and up and around switchback after switchback to the Mt. Coolidge Overlook. What a spectacular view! After we returned to Custer we looked in a couple of shops that specialized in animal pelts, feathers, teeth, claws, and skulls. Just the kind of shop that Betsy loves. Tomorrow we say goodbye to the Black Hills. Next stop are The Badlands.

Betsy and Jim,
I liked your blog very much. I would like to have your permission to read it.
I am an adventure as well, but I have not travelled across the USA.
Thanks
Juan, welcome to the family. We are all an adventure. If you are in the states next summer join us in Yellowstone - a true American adventure.

South Dakota looks beautiful. Their tourism council should pay you. Just the other day I said I have no desire to ever go there. My mind has been changed. I will try and borrow tipper for protection from the buffalo.
Jeff
