On the Road Again - Day 2 Wall Drugs and Custer

You can't pass through the Badlands without stopping at Wall Drugs






Gary has been bringing his Grandson's old stuffed toy Winfred along for pictures and I make postcards to send him.

Of course Tucson is always willing to pose especially when it's right up his alley!

Time to move on to Custer

We stay at the State Game Lodge campground.  No Buffalo but some bighorn sheep grazing.


The State Game Lodge.  We went inside and ran into the old manager from the Rockcrest Lodge.  Found out Josh the General Manager was now Vice President and working that day so we stopped in to say Hi!  He remembered me and gave me his card and said he would hire me back anytime I wanted a job.  They manage the Grand Lake resort in Rocky Mountain National Park, maybe next Summer. . .

 They were doing road work on the Needles Highway so we drove the Iron Mountain Scenic Road.  I drove so didn't get many pictures but got this one through the tunnel you get a view of Mt. Rushmore

 

The Pigtail bridges are cool

Drove past Sylvan Lake one of my favorite spots here

 Drove the Wildlife Loop to get to Wind Cave, didn't expect to see many Buffalo because they had been rounded up but not let out yet.  But ended up seeing quite a few.

Tucson sees his first Buffalo, he stayed pretty quiet.

End the day with a nice tour of Wind Cave and spend the night at the Park
