We found the Buffalo! What an awesome sight seeing these huge animals ... up close! I made sure my window was up, not that that would help too much. We have enjoyed our stay here at Custer State Park. Chris celebrated his birthday yesterday with a bumbleberry pie from a wonderful local pie and ice cream shop. That was after he and Caleb went on a 6 mile bike ride through the park and on the Mickelson Trail.
We made sure that our hike today was far from any buffalo. We hiked part of the way up the Devil's Tower Trail.
While hiking we saw beautiful wildflowers and butterflies!
We climbed up the fire lookout tower this afternoon for a panoramic view of the area before proceeding through the wildlife loop.... where we saw Pronghorn- not Antelope. We also saw more burros, some young bucks and does, and a lone Bull Bison.
Tomorrow we have to say good-bye to Custer State Park and start making our way towards Arizona. This was our last multi-day stop for the trip with several travel days ahead of us. Every year since we've traveled with the 5th wheel, we've made a stop in the Black Hills. This is a majestic area full of beauty and great history! I'm sure we'll be back again! :-)
