I am so sorry we were so behind but now we are back on track... almost. I will start with the day after the chuck wagon dinner.
We headed out early in the morning expecting like a 8 hour drive to Custer State Park, well our calculations were a little off. It took us about 12 hours to reach the park, and we arrived at the campground around 9:30 when we realized that someone was in our spot. The nicest camp host ever helped us out, finally we realized that the driving that day was planed to take 2 days instead of one and we had arrived a day early. They had no campgrounds left, but they took pity on us and put us in a volunteer spot for the night. For that we are forever grateful because we were all at our ends and still hadn't eaten yet.
The next morning as soon as we saw the people leave in our spot we skedaddled over there and set up. For our fist thing in the park we drove around the wildlife loop and ended up in a buffalo jam. We did a u turn the dropped by the visitor center, after learning about the park we drove out to see Mount Rushmore. Which was very interesting to look at, we did the junior ranger which took forever then went home to enjoy a delicious dinner.
Yesterday we went to Wind Cave National Park and took a tour of the cave and learned about it's history. The cave was amazing even though we only saw about 1% of the known cave. There were many amazing formations. It showed how God's glory is all over the earth and we are still exploring it today and learning more. After lunch that day we ran in to another bison jam this time we were at the front and got to see all the bison. Some people were real jerks and were driving after the bison crossing the road causing them to run and freak out. We also broke 200 miles to day after we hiked along the trail. That night we went star gazing in the middle of a field, we saw over 3 meteors and the milky way.
Today I have no idea what we are doing but I will try to update as soon as possible.
