South Dakota's Black Hills

Howdy Partners!

 I have been so busy mowing the pastures and looking after all the horses. We are in Custer, SD and staying at the Broken Arrow Horse Camp and RV Park. The horses were always so happy to see me and it didn't hurt that mom had carrots!

 We had a great time in the Black Hills - so much to see. Mom and Dad's favorite was the Crazy Horse memorial - really spectacular and mammoth. The presidential heads on MT Rushmore would only take a fraction of the space next to his head.

The sculptor, Korczak Ziolkowski was hired in 1947 by  Chief Standing Bear of the Lakota Indian tribe to build a monument to their hero, Crazy Horse. As Mt. Rushmore was being built nearby, he wanted the white people to know the red man has great heros too. Below is the sculpture that will eventually be completed, probably not in my lifetime.

Next stop, Mt. Rushmore

We took some great drives through Custer State Park, one of the most beautiful and large state parks we have ever visited.

and some harrowing drives with steep, sharp curves and small tunnels, do you think our motorhome will fit?

All in all, a great time!

Adios,

Yuki
