RV Adventure

I write this entry just a block away from glorious Wall Drug, just outside of the Badlands in South Dakota. We flew into Denver on Tuesday, picked up our 31' Class C RV, and then drove to Hill City, SD. Our first official day saw us visiting Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, Wind Cave, and the Crazy Horse monument. Today we spent the day at the quaint but fun Mount Rushmore Water Slide Park, before driving here to Wall, SD. Tomorrow we hit the Badlands, and then head east to visit the Laura Ingalls Wilder Homestead in DeSmet, SD (the girls are thrilled). Then, back west to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons!!!

The highlight so far has to be the hundreds of bison we encountered in Custer State Park. They were so close we could have rolled down a window and touched them. The dozens of pronghorns, deer and prairie dogs have been a source of window gazing for the kids too. What a great start to our grand adventure!!!
