Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Cabernet in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!"

Kicked Out Of Custer State Park

 

We got to Custer State Park late afternoon Tuesday. We had no reservation and could not fine any parking spot for us except in a campground with no hook ups it was getting late so we took it for one night. We had already traveled over 300 miles that day.

Our spot for the night in Custer state park.

Custer is not set up for big rigs as far as we could see. The truck got a good work out pulling some of the hills.

After being kicked out of Custer Wednesday because of a miner detail of no reservation we found a park down at the bottom of the big hill. Not as pretty as being in the park but full hook ups and for $92 for 5 days not to bad.

 After we got set up we went to the town of Custer to check it out.

 After lunch we headed over to Hill City to look around. And of course Angela found someone to talk to.

Angela's new man!!

Didn't  see much in Hill City of interest so we headed home via the Needles Highway wow what a ride.

I tried to load a video I took of a tour bus coming thru the tunnel but couldn’t get it to load what a site to see. Here are some pictures I found of the highway.
