Custer State Park - South Dakota

Last week of May 2013

Custer State Park has an incredible amount of wild life.  As you look at the pics, notice one near the last that we took through the back window of the Mini Cooper (You'll see the defrost wires in the glass of the window).  Lets just say that the Cooper is quite small in comparison to the Buffalo.  We felt like we were in the herd.






















Crazy Horse Memorial

Last week of May 2013

The Crazy Horse Memorial is a mountain monument complex that is under 
construction on privately held land in the Black Hills, in Custer County, 
South Dakota. It depicts Crazy Horse, an Oglala Lakota warrior, 
riding a horse and pointing into the distance.




To appreciate the size, take a look at the large Heavy Equipment
shown in front of the face of Crazy Horse
