Day 4- South Dakota

Fishing and a Beautiful Drive!

Kris and Anders went to the Pactola Reservoir to fish in the morning, while I stayed back at the cabin for some R&R. It was a beautiful morning. Anders had fun catching sunnies with dad. However, they didn't bring any back with them.

We decided on a trip to Custer State Park for the afternoon. What a beautiful drive!

A stop along Needles State Highway.

The highlight of Needles Highway was the small tunnels. We enjoyed honking our horn through each of them. They were of course one car at a time (or bus, or motorhome). We were surprised to pass a tour bus along the way?? Dad also taught Anders what "switchbacks" were.

Watching cars come out of the tunnel.

Buffalo 

I think this is known as a "cowbird."

It was amazing how close the buffalo came to the cars. They were such a hoot!

We made our way back down to Mount Rushmore, which was really neat because the tunnels were designed so that each time you went through, you could see Mount Rushmore.

It was a beautiful day!
