Isn't it Spring??!!! Waking up this morning .... oh what a surprise! The ground was covered with a couple inches of snow. And, I thought we were meant to be in spring! So a holiday that was meant to be warm turns out filled with surprises and adventures - so rather than spend a day in the snow without the proper attire and not being able to get to see things in the Black Hills that we still wanted to we thought we had better high-tail it out of here before we ge...

Crazy Horse We were driving past Crazy Horse to see if you could see it through the fog, and luckly, we could! We went in the museum and we were just in time to see a movie of the making of Crazy Horse. It told you about how it started and what it was all about. This is a monument for the American Indians, much like Mt Rushmore is for the USA. It was started by one man more than 50 years ago, and it will take probably another 50 years to complete! After, we...

Bear Country USA Today we woke up to fog and rain, we didn't know if we were going to be able to do the things we wanted, but we drove down the highway anyway. We couldn't see anything because of the fog, and almost turned around to go home, when all of a sudden, the fog lifted just 50 feet from the entrance to Bear Country USA! We were so thankful! I liked it because there were lots and lots of animals. We were able to drive around and have bears and all the...

Mammoth Dig Began this day with Jesus .... went to a wonderful service at Our Saviour's Lutheran Church in Casper, Wyoming. The service was a contemporary service with an excellent band - played lots of songs that we had never heard before and wished that we had the music to bring home. It was a 9:00am service giving us a good amount of time to then drive the 5 hours to Custer, South Dakota. After church we met and chatted to some of the members who gave us som...
