It may be 91° outside but our campground tonight is in the middle of a July snow storm. The campground is in a large grove of cottonwood trees in full shedding mode. It's nice to have the shade but every time we open the door some "snow" tries to fly inside.
Today we crossed through and over the Black Hills of South Dakota, beautiful country. We passed by some real serious soil erosion, at least that's what Jo's mom (a good farmer's wife) said the first time she saw the Badlands of South Dakota. Then we passed right on by the world's most famous (or at least the most advertised) drug store. We stopped once several years ago and once was enough. Back in 1977 on a trip with Kenneth and Phyllis we borrowed the Ledgerwood's pop-up tent trailer for a late summer trip to Yellowstone. It was on that trip that we stopped at Wall Drug after our visit to the Badlands. On that trip we stopped at Mt. Rushmore and then made it to Yellowstone.
It was a long day's drive today but we are here for three nights which will give us some time to visit the Little Bighorn Battlefield.

You guys going to see the Crazy Horse Memorial? I know it's not finished yet.
Back in '07 when we visited Mt. Rushmore we did go to the Chief Crazy Horse Memorial and even though it isn't finished it is impressive. This trip we just passed through the Black Hills area.
