Home is calling but we had to stop for the week at Custer State Park in South Dakota. We visited this area eight years ago and put it on our list of epic places we want to revisit. When we were here before, we stayed in the northern part of the park with close access to Mount Rushmore and Sylvan Lake. Our goal this visit was to go where the wild things are, so we opted for Game Lodge Campground. Staying in this area almost guarantees you’ll see bison, pronghorn and bighorn sheep. In fact, the female bighorn might show up for a picnic at your campground shelter. We’ve loved this last opportunity to drive, bike and hike among wildlife at the state park and adjoining Wind Cave National Park.
The true push for home begins tomorrow. We’ll be racing to stay ahead of the looming heat dome in the Midwest. I’m not very confident it’s a race we’re going to win.
