Riverside Inn Hot Springs

... 8 motel, which turned out to be a pleasant surprise, as for the same price as we've been paying in the last 4 hotels we've got a separate room for the kids (with tv), the usual free wi-fi &amp; breakfast and a indoor heated swimming pool &#8211; which Fred &amp; the kids are planning to use shortly. Pizza Hut delivered our dinner, which was far more than we could eat, but still yummy. Off to catch up on our two huge loads of laundry, while I sip my A&amp;W Root Beer.....<br>

... parks wildlife loop road. We also wanted to check out what was going on with the buffalo that had been rounded up last week. I'll let the photos tell the story of what's happening with the buffalo.<br><br>If you should ever find yourself in this part of the country we would recommend both Custer State park and the Norbeck Byway ...

On this day, we packed up camp and headed to the Black Hills. We went through Wind Cave National Park where we sighted our first buffalo, Tatanka. We couldn't believe our eyes. We had gotten used to seeing cows. This particular one was big and fluffy in the head. We could barely see his eyes. His horns came out of his head, shiny and curvy. He wasn't doing anything but standing there like a statue. He was ...

... opening, we admired the new supermarket which had signs for the aisles both in English and Lakota language.<br><br>Afterwards, we went thru the Pine Ridge Reservation, where we stopped at Wounded Knee. We went to the Museum/ Visitor Center where it told the story of the 1890 massacre of Lakota men, women and children by US soldiers and the 1973 standoff. We walked around the catholic church and cemetery where these events took place. At the visitor ...

... dig began. A complex with museum and gift shop was built around it, and they are still finding bones! About 15 miles outside of Hot Springs is the Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary, where wild horses run free across the prairies. You can adopt a horse from the sanctuary for $650 and up. Unfortunately, we don't have room in the RV. . . ! The Cold Brook Reservoir was a great place to hike, fish, and stargaze. We could see the Milky Way most ...

... corner. This area is more like small canyons not crops of rock jutting out of the ground. This area of the state is covered in wild, very tall grasses. They even have cactus growing there. We took a short hike around the canyon and returned to start the dreaded task of getting packed up for tomorrow. We plan to be on the road by 7am. Talk to you soon.

... went into Hot Springs and picked up some supplies. We had a site reserved right on the water but had to wait a couple of hours for the unit to become available. This was going to be home for the next 3 days. The campgrounds closer to Mt. Rushmore were all booked but the drive north out of Hot Springs was worth the time.

Photo Album [FOR ENGLISH PLEASE SCROLL DOWN] Die welt veraendert sich in alle richtungen, je nachdem, welche impulse vorausgehen. Der mensch erlebt eine metamorphose des bewusstseins, der aufmerksamkeit, prioritaeten verschieben sich und jeder einzelne beginnt sich selbst im anderen wahrzunehmen. Das kollektive verstaendnis vom miteinander unserer stammesvorfahren findet immer mehr einsicht und anerkennung von seiten unserer individualisierten gesellschaft. Eine weitere ...

Me and my bright ideas! I figured I'd drive across the local roads to get from the Badlands to the Black Hills. That way I could avoid the reknowned tourist trap known as Wall Drug. Well, in some respects it is nice to get away from the beaten path, but on the other hand... The poor rental car had to put up with three hours of gravel-paved roads. Oh, well. It's a rental! But the open scenery was really nice...
