Soon upon our arrival to South Dakota, we purchase our annual state park pass. We know that we're going to be driving through Custer State Park multiple times. Whether we're cruising the wildlife loop or circling through Needles Highway or Iron Mountain Road, we usually allow some extra time for sightseeing.
We were stopped a good while on the wildlife loop on one of our trips this year. It seemed the entire herd decided it was time to cross the road. Someone needs to tell them about keeping their distance! Ha! We could hear the rocks tumbling under their hoofs and hear their snorting. Sure glad we weren't on a motorcycle. Like the t-shirt says, "Don't pet the fluffy cow."
This year we had an unexpected bonus. The Ulfer family was spending the night in one of the cabins in the state park. Harold worked with Bernie on several occasions while both were at Dahlgren. We enjoyed sitting around the campfire after they had a full day of sightseeing.
