Custer National Park, SD



 A resting Buffalo through the trees.
 Rolling Green Hills.  Looks like a green carpet.

 Spotted a pronghorn sheep in the meadow.

 Tried the close up setting on my camera.  Very Cool.


 Wild burrows out in the meadow. We could just walk up to them, but I didn't try to touch them.
 Momma's and babies relaxing..



 I walked up to the baby, and she never woke up, but momma was watching me.



 Finally saw some buffalo in a meadow, but they were pretty far away from the road and I didn't want to walk in the meadow to get closer.
 This use to be President Coolidge's summer home.

 Another painted buffalo in the town of Custer, SD
 Crazy Horse from the distance.  Not much has been done to this statue in years.

 While strolling around the streets of Hill City, SD, we came across these artistic statues.  Pretty cleverly  put together with rusty car parts.

Custer Nat'l Park-Wild Animal Loop

 The Guzman Borglum Museum, who sculpted the "Mount Rushmore.  So interesting.
 One of Borglum's sculptures.  His favorite president.

 A Turkey Vulture in the trees posed for us.
 A pronghorn Elk.  So beautiful.

 This was part of our "Buffalo Day" in Custer Park.  Saw so many!!




 Baby Buffalo, resting within the herd.



 Everyone stops for the Buffalo when they want to cross the road...


 The one and only dear we saw in our campsite at "Custer Mountain" in Custer, SD
 Part of a Chuckwagon dinner we suppose to attend, but the cooks never showed up.  When into town for dinner instead.
