After leaving Devil' Tower we headed to Happy Holiday Campground south of Rapid City, SD to catch up with our friends, Syd and Jen. They gave us the "grand tour" starting with all you can eat pancake breakfast at Fort Hayes.
To walk off some of the pancakes, we toured the buildings at Fort Hayes.
Our next stop was, of course, Mount Rushmore. What an awe-inspiring sight!
Next we drove through Custer State Park and found this huge herd of buffalo coming down from the mountains to the watering hole.
We enjoyed a picnic lunch under a huge old oak tree in the park.
We stumbled across this "begging burro". It is probably one of the descendants of the ones we saw many years ago while visiting South Dakota. They still "beg" for food at the same place. He doesn't look too hungry, does he?
The next area to visit was the "Needles Highway" with its huge spires of gray colored rocks reaching skyward. Yes, they actually drive tour buses through this narrow crevice in the rocks.
Last stop was a late afternoon walk around Silven Lake. What a perfect day! Thanks, Syd and Jen.
