We drove through the edge of the Badlands of North Dakota--just enough to give us a little taste. Then we stayed at an interesting place near Lemmon, SD where we had our first frost of the trip. Froze the hose so no water for showers when we got up. Had to use our stored water. We were the only ones there and it was fenced, so the dogs had a ball sniffing out pheasant and other fun smells.
Then it was on to Rapid City and a beautiful RV park. We dropped off the RV, took the dogs for a nice run in the fenced-in dog area, left them in the RV and drove off to explore the beautiful Black Hills.
Saw lots of deer along the roads.
Saw Mt. Rushmore--got a great side view photo as we left the park.
Then on to see Crazy Horse where we also saw our first snow flurries of the trip. We only had 3 hours of daylight, so didn't go into the museum, just took our photos and drove on.
We did a quick run-through of the National Museum of Woodcarving. Then drove on through Custer State Park and out by way of Needles Hiway. We saw a couple of buffalo right by the road in Custer State
Park.
We ate dinner in a cute place in Hill City that had buffalo heads hanging above most of the tables. We got home, walked the dogs and relaxed. We went to bed just before the thunderstorm hit--loudest clap of thunder I've ever heard. Tule dove under Mom's bed (the sofa bed) and slept there the rest of the night. Thunder doesn't bother Elsie, I guess, because she stayed on her nice soft pillow.
For those of you who know Britta--her book now has 7 five star reviews on Amazon--6 of which were written by people who have never met her. She has sold 110 copies and is now putting up Youtube clips of how to do a few of the things in the book. She plans to release one video clip a week until Halloween. Go to
