Verdict is in......South Dakota is amazingly gorgeous!

 We have had a full and exciting day, exploring the beauty of South Dakota.  Our 1st stop was to see the work in progress of Chief Crazy Horse.  I visited here when I was 12 yrs old and wow, has lots of work been done on this monument, but it has a very long way to go.  The face was completed in 1998.  Very interesting....

If you look real close, you may be able to figure out where we are from (evidently, this was orange day)!

Below is one of the narrow tunnels on Needles Hwy.  We had a lot of fun exploring the Black Hills today.

Dennis and I tried Bison (buffalo) hamburgers today.  We thoroughly enjoyed them....every bite!!

This is a Pronghorn.  Very interesting animal.

And this is a bison (formerly buffalo)....and yes, this is a very close up picture because he liked our truck!

 The baby bison were soooooo very cute.  They would run to keep up with their moms!  So sweet.

Lots of Prairie dogs

 Erica was thrilled with the gigantic dandelions, so we had to get some pics.

 We have had a great day, exploring the beauty of the Black Hills.  Breathtaking.
