First, Happy Birthday to Jim! He sacrificed his birthday to travel to our next destination, SD. On the way we stopped at Devil’s Tower, a huge … rock, for lack of a better word. It’s cool and massive, but my favorite part was the info plaque that gave 3 explanations for how it came to exist and said that we’ll never know. I thought that was pretty awesome. I have to add that the pics are not adjusted in any way – they look fake to me, but I took them and I didn’t adjust them at all. We did the ~2.5 mile trail (the pics below are from the walk around the tower) before finishing our trip to Custer’s Gulch RV park in Custer, SD. On 10/1, we did a little exploring in Custer State Park, driving the Needles Highway and the Wildlife Loop. Again, our luck held true, the approximately 1,400 head of bison who call this place home, were rounded up LAST weekend for their annual health check up. We found them, penned, on a hill on Wildlife Loop, but we were lucky enough to find a couple fugitives who escaped captivity. We were able to see a couple bison, some pronghorns, burros and some deer – along with some amazing scenery. I don’t know what I expected, but it wasn’t this. The rock mix is quartz, feldspar and mica in granite….everything shimmers. Also, I’ve quickly come to love the combo of quakies and pines. Gorgeous.
