We decided to drive through Custer State Park a few days ago, about 15 miles from our campsite. Boy, I am so glad we did! Ofcourse the views are just gorgeous as you drive through the Black Hills, and then you enter the park. There was a nice picnic area with a natural, spring-fed creek, so we HAD to stop and get our feet wet! :)
It was too funny when Todd started taking off his shoes and socks. All the kids were asking, "Dad, what are you doing?!" I guess they thought he was going swimming?? :) It was actually our first time to just stop and enjoy the cool creek water. I know.....sad.......but, again, it IS the simple things in life. :)
It took no time at all for the kids to rip off their shoes and socks and join Dad in the creek, too.
We met a really nice couple from Wisconsin, and shared some cheese curds with them; sharing stories, when they encouraged us to go down the 'Wildlife Loop.'
So, inside Custer State Park, we followed this "loop" for miles and miles; with more amazing scenery, until........
HELLO!!!
BUFFALO!! Hundreds of buffalo!!
They were walking right up to the cars with out a care in the world! It was too cool. A little frightening.
But cool!
Blessings,
Steph
