Home From Colorado and South Dakota
We have had a wonderful time visiting grandchildren in Colorado and seeing the beautiful land of South Dakota. We loved staying in Custer and participating in their 4th of July Old Fashion County Celebration. Their fireworks were unbelievable. I've never seen a small town or a large one for that matter, put on such a large and wonderful show. No wonder the clerk at the grocery store told me to go TWO hours early. We did and we were so glad. They held them on a hill and the parking was adjacent to that hill. They parked cars for the whole two hours. It was amazing.
Mt. Rushmore was touching to see. As you approach the monument you walk through a corridor holding all 50 state flags. It truly made you feel part of this place.
Crazy Horse Monument was of equal fascination. The story was amazing. It is worth a google search if you have time. The Custer State Park has to be some of the most beautiful lands we have ever seen. It ranks right up there with Oregon and Yellowstone Park. In fact, we often said it was even more beautiful. It was rolling hills, green, opened, and quiet. The wildlife was exciting and the weather was perfect. The days high hit around 72 every day. I could really handle that.
It was great.
Now, if I can be a computer person, I will try to post a few pictures. So far, I haven't had much luck with the other tries. Here it goes!!!
