Minnesota to South Dakota

We camped at a Kilen State Park in Minnesota.  Very nice, there were only like three campers there so we pretty much had the place to ourselves.

The weather has been beautiful so far.  Almost feeling guilty, but not really!  Marty is always surprising me with nice gestures.  When I woke up he had picked some wild flowers and put them out on the table for me.

We packed up and headed for South Dakota.  I was driving so I stopped at a rest area/welcome center and I found an alternate route.  I found a road that ran along side of the highway so I decided that would be our route.  It took awhile to get to the Black Hills area, but it was worth it.  We ended up staying at a hotel/rv park for the night because it was easier.  Not a bad place, cheap.

Yesterday morning we headed to Custer State Park.  On the way we stopped at Bear Country USA.  I just love looking at the bears, I find them fascinating, as well as the other animals.

This fellow didn't seem to mind having his picture taken at all!



He didn't seem to mind either!

This fellow however had a real problem with me taking a picture of him!!

I know it isn't their natural habitat but what the heck?

When we left the park we headed to Custer State Park in South Dakota. Beautiful park. We drove around the park some and got some pictures of the animals in their home. The Bison are amazing, they are just so big! Here are some of the pictures I took yesterday



We are headed to see Crazy Horse now and will probably camp tonight as well. 

I miss my dog so much!  I heard he misses me a lot!  I think Ann is just saying that to make me feel good. 

I wish Sylvia and Kyla were with us they would love this.  Maybe we can bring them some time.  I am glad that I get to talk to them.  Poor kids have to settle for postcards.

I am typing this from a parking lot next to a lodge with wifi, however it is next to a dumpster and we have a problem with flies so I am signing off for now.
