We arrived here on Sat Sept 20th expecting to stay 3 days but have been here over a week now. Have toured Custer SP, Mt Rushmore, Badlands plus all the small areas around here. Has been great. Had decided to stay longer for the Buffalo Roundup on Sept 29th. Will be in the park by 7 a.m. along with ten thousand or more others to sit on the hills and watch the cowboys herd approx 1300 buffalo in to the coral. There they will check their health, vacinate, microchip and weed out some to cut the herd back to about 950. This is all the park can sustain along with the other mammals and the vegetation. The burros in this picture stop traffic in Custer SP and beg for food. One man, in a hurry to get by, unloaded a bag of chips out the window and then cut thru. We've had an excellent stay at a campground in Hermosa just outside the park. Tues we will drive northwest to Grizzly CG in West Yellowstone, Montana for 5 nites. Doing our WiiFit every day. Meeting some nice folks along the way. Life is good. Going on a 2 hr horseback ride in Custer SP today.
