Harney Peak, SD

We haven’t been able to post anything lately, we’ve been in some real remote areas. We’re in Victor Idaho now, exploring the Grand Teton National Park. Our service ended in South Dakota so we headed out to Theodore Roosvelt NP in North Dakota, Glacier NP in Montana, Yellow Stone NP in Wyoming and now Idaho. We have a whole bunch of blog to catch up on. We have internet access for a short time here, so we are going to try and get caught up as much as we can. We’re starting with the last thing we did in South Dakota, hiking to Harney Peak! Harney Peak is an old fire watch tower and the only way there is to hike or ride on horse back. We hiked it!! Dang… We hiked up the south side then down through the Needles.

In the background is Hill City, several mountains behind that was our two campgrounds we managed. Now you know why we could never get a signal on our cell phone.

Needles Highway, SD

We started out on the Needles Highway at the Needles Eye

Looking at this formation you can see why it’s called the Needles Eye.

Next problem, to get our 8ft wide truck thru thru 8ft 4in wide tunnel.

These are the Cathedral Spires.

Custer State Park, SD

We headed to Custer State Park to try and see the wild Buffalo. The drive in is very scenic on a winding road. There are lots of bridges and narrow tunnels.

At this over look you can get a good view of the whole Mt Rushmore cravings and complex.

We finally found the Buffalo grazing in one of the prairies.

These are the begging burros!

Wind Cave National Park, SD

Wind Cave is the 4th largest cave in the world. The cave is approximately 137 miles. Scientists estimate thru barometric wind studies that only 5% of the cave has been discovered. 95% off all boxwork in the world is in this cave.

This is the original entrance, 8x13 inches.

This is boxwork
