Custer State Park Thursday

Thursday was a beautiful, clear day and we couldn’t sit still…We decided to go to Custer State Park, which is less than two miles from Custer Gulch RV…We would make the loop and have a picnic lunch at the far end of the loop…after lunch we would take the Iron Mountain road to Mount Rushmore…We love this route and it only takes about three hours, maybe four it there are a lot of animals on the road…Well here are some pictures of the buffalos…We had to wait for them to clear the road so we could pass…Up close they are really mean looking…There are signs telling people that buffalo’s are dangerous…Still people get out of their cars and try to walk up to them…Here are some pictures that I took with my camera from my side of the car…Since I was driving I couldn’t take as many pictures as Mary  Ann…Most of the large herd were on the right side of the car…I will publish Mary Ann’s pictures as soon as she down loads them so I can transfer them to my computer…Here are my pictures of a few strays on my side of the road away from the main heard…Talk to you later Philip…Custer State Park 001 Custer State Park 002 Custer State Park 003
