Travels



This is where I was last week. This is taken from a cave on the walking trail below the mountain. For those of you who may have never been to SD, I would highly enourage you to go. I had never had this deep urge to do so, but am very glad we did. It was absolutely gorgeous. Mt Rushmore and the surrounding mountains are breathtaking. The Black Hills remind me a bit of the rolling hills of TN. The Badlands are beautiful in an odd way, and manage to provide a reality check of our own mortality at the same time. VERY vast and open, if you got lost out there, you'd be dead. No options, no chances, just dead.
My pictures don't do it justice but it was an experience. We went through Custer State Park and saw tons of wild buffalo, which I love. We didn't have time to stay for the roundup the next day though, but I will definately arrange to be there the next time. There's hundreds of them. It's amazing.
We also went to the Wild Horse Sanctuary, for me, and that was, well, beyond awesome. I could spend hours out there. Phenomonal
