We had a very interesting day. We left Hill City this morning on 385S. 48 degrees, beautiful morning. Went to Crazy Horse Monument. So much Indian history. I can't post everything about it. Everyone should look it up. We got to meet the sculptor's wife, Ruth. He passed away some years ago. I could go on and on. Left there on 385N to 244E to Mt Rushmore. It is amazing. Left there on 244W to 385 to 87S to Custer State Park. Oh the landscape. 3 one lane tunnels, very windy roads. The one road was called the Needles Hwy where the tunnels were. Went on the wild life loop. Saw deer, buffalo, antelope, wild burros, long horn sheep. Then we were on some very small back roads. This will confuse everyone. The route numbers weren't even on the map. Out of the wild life loop onto 16A to 36E, leaving Custer State Park at 3:15. From 36E to 79N to Hermosa to 44E to Scenic to the Bad Lands-589-27-to 33S to 28E. We were on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Stopped at Wounded Knee. Saw the site where the Indian Massacre took place and saw the cemetary where most of them were buried. It's so sad. Took 18W to Pine Ridge to 87S. Carson, sorry, there was no Welcome to Nebraska sign. At Rushville took 20W to Chadron, Nebraska for the night. Will head for Colorado, Pike's Peak.
