We spent 6 days in the Black Hills area. The wildlife loop in Custer State Park is still our favorite drive in the Black Hills. They were getting ready to do the buffalo roundup so the buffalo were being encouraged to herd up down by the corrals. It was neat to see hundreds of buffalo in one large area. We got pictures of them rolling in the dust giving themselves dust baths and lots of pictures of them on the move. I'm not sure why I could only get one picture to load this time.
We spent the first two days in Spearfish, SD and drove through Spearfish canyon. We found a few tiny patches of snow that hadn't melted from the 7 inch snowfall they had before we got there. We moved to a campground south of Rapid City for the rest of our stay. We drove every road and saw just about every kind of wildlife you can see. Buffalo, wild donkeys, wild turkeys, fox, elk, prairie dogs, big horn sheep and pronghorn antelope.
We left South Dakota and headed to Wyoming. We spent one night in Glendo by the Glendo reservoir. Guys were cleaning some nice walleye in the RV park that they had caught in the lake. They told us the water in the reservoir was being drawn down so that work could be done on the dam. It normally is 50% full of water now but with the draw down it was down to 17%. You would think that would make the fishing easier but they said it had been a little tough.
We are now in Rawlins, WY waiting for the rain to stop in northeast Utah where we are headed to Vernal. Can't wait to see dinosaur bones!
