Black Hills South Dakota 2011


OK, we return to our Home State for a couple months.
 The views of Mount Rushmore are amazing.
 This little begar came right up to our car,
 I think this fellow will be a surprize for the cabin owner when he returns.
 This grasshopper hitched a ride through Custer State Park. 
He hung on up to 50 MPH!
 Coral spied these fellows by the airport.
 This was an old gold mine.
 It was abandened when they hit water.
 The water runs year round.
 This waterfall is where the water flooded the mine.
 This is a home for wild horses from all over North America.
 They live out their lives running wild.
 This is a ceramonial Indian site.  Lakota men cut a bone into their chest and tie themselves to the pole.  They remain like this for 4 days.
 These petroglyphs were near a cave.  Hildago was filmed here.
 Some of the wild horses crossed the river and stay year round in the hills beyond.
 The horses are beautiful.

 This train runs from Keystone to Hills City.
 Taking on water for the trip.
The track is the steepest in North America.
