No help today from Road Warriors!

Our next visit was to Ghost Canyon and Little Big Horn. Our next overnight camp at Hell Canyon National Forest in the Black Hills and visit to Mt Rushmore early the next morning to avoid the heat and crowds (Which we all enjoyed for a lot of reasons, the previous blog KC expressed her enthusiasm about the site. Realizing the warriors were overloaded with culture we headed into the Badlands territory. The view is more than can be imagined. Again like Alaska it is something worth seeing. It was so very hot we drove out of the park to a KOA campground because it advertised shaded sites and swimming pool. This all came in handy and we witnessed a wind storm which took out a tent and caused the family to pack up and leave.

Heading east, stopped overnite to avoid another HOT night in SD where they were having little league playoffs so the town was crowded with hyperactive kids and “waterslide” hotel was unavailable, but we did have a pool and AC.

Traveling across SD is corny, and more corny. Since we visited the Corn Palace in SD it is fitting that the pix were left out. Flowers along the way added a bit of interest, but the corn is not as high as an elephants eye!

Saturday evening we stayed in Goose Island County Campgrounds on the bank of the swollen Mississippi River.

Got a little fishing in, crowded park, with fireworks supplied by other campers. Big park, loaded for the weekend!

Not much going on for rest of eastern adventure and road warriors are getting weary, and sleeping thru day traveling.

Hope all are well, and looking to get back!
