TRAVEL DAY

From: Custer State Park, Blue Bell Campground, Custer, SD.

To: Little White River Recreation Area, between Tuthill & Martin, SD.

Day 361 – Since we couldn’t get reservations at a campground near our next destination, LaCreek National Wildlife Refuge, we knew we’d have to search around to find a place to stay. Therefore we were up at 6:30 a.m. and it was difficult, LOL. We needed as much time as possible between leaving, stopping to dump tanks, driving to our new destination, and finding a campsite with space for us for 3 nights, on a weekend.

The high today was only 57 degrees and it switched around from sunny skies to skies black with oncoming storms, to rain, and back to sun again. Because there’s not much other than open spaces, there is so much SKY to see. Storms are really something here!

TRAVEL DAY

From: Custer/Mt. Rushmore KOA Holiday Campground, Custer, SD.

To: Custer State Park, Blue Bell Campground, Custer, SD.

Day 357 – Today was an extremely easy travel day. We still had to pack up before leaving and unpack upon arrival, but the journey was quite short. The cats were happy to find they were only in the traveling room for a little less than an hour.
