Custer State Park

 Lots to see and do today!

Started with a great breakfast outside of Rapid City, SD at Beau's Cambell Street Diner!  Good homecooking!  AND food spicy enough for Ernie, which is an oddity!

Heading for Custer State Park and the Needles Highway!  Having HORRIBLE personal hotspot issues so will try to keep this updated as much as possible!

Custer State Park - August 29, 2023

Entrance and Visitors Center........



We took a drive on the Wildlife Loop hoping to find the Bison herd (and YES it is Bison in these parts, not Buffalo)!  At the Visitor center, a friendly guy told us about a dirt road off the Wildlife Loop they found and saw the herd.  They move everyday so you either get luck and see them or you don't!

WE GOT LUCKY!  At first we thought we weren't going to see anything because we were on the dirt road for quite a while.  All of a sudden...THERE THEY WERE!






We did see some antelope, but they were too far away for good pictures!  Also, some prairie dogs, but same deal because they are TINY and the same color as the ground!

Up next.........Needles Highway!!!!
