      Black Hills

      July 9, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C

      Day seven: The first week is almost over and it was such a blast! Today we started with exploring our first national park - the Badlands. There you can feel the force of nature, it's amazing. Also we saw some wild animals like sheeps 🐑, prairie dogs 🐿 and - the best is comming at the end - two bisons 🐂🐂! Foxes live there as well but we didn't see them. But we heard them in the morning.
      After leaving Badlands we took a road off (what fun! 😈) to Rapid City. There we visited a trade fair for oldtimer. It was that nice! 🚗
      Back on the road we went to Mount Rushmore Memorial in Black Hills and afterwards to Hill City for eating something. We found a nice looking restaurant and chose it for rest. I tried a burger with buffalo meat and national beer from Black Hills. Both were very tasty! 🍔🍺
      When we was done we tried to find a campground and found one at Center Lake in Custer State Park.
      At the end of the day we got to know new campers sitting on the campfire, just hanging. But I was really tired so I fell asleep very quickly.

    • Day 264

      Rapid City and Black Hills

      August 4, 2021 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 75 °F

      So MANY motorcycles. Sturgis Bike Rally starts in a few days. Met up with Kyle and Nikole for dinner at Firehouse Brewing. They live in TC and are on a road trip. So much fun to see them! Rapid City downtown is cool. Met a local (originally from MI) at Lost Cabin Brewery that tried to convince Tyson to line dance. 🤣 Sushi had to spend the night in the Rapid City Animal hospital. ☹️ She stopped eating and drinking while we were at Yellowstone. She’s all better after a night getting IV fluids and other meds. 💸 Thank goodness. If something were to happen to her I would fall apart. We also had a truck tire replaced. Slow leak that Discount Tire could not fix. Stayed at Rapid City RV Park and Central Lake Campground in Custer SP. Drove by Crazy Horse, Mt. Rushmore and through the small towns of Custer and Keystone. Lost Trails hike around the lake in our CG was nice. Needles highway in Black Hills is super cool. Iron Mtn highway okay. I should mention that Tyson has biked in almost every single spot we’ve stayed. The trail he tried to take at Custer SP was closed so he opted to go on a hike with me and Kaline around the lake which, of course, we both loved. We did A LOT of driving in the Black Hills area. Or I should say Tyson did a lot of driving of those winding narrow roads.

      Tyson: Is this where everyone in Lake Havasu goes for the summer?
