Custer South Dakota

We're in Custer which was only a 40 mile drive - sitting in the RV while its raining buckets, thundering and lightening outside. We're at Beaver Lake Campground - really nice spot. Open field on one side of us which is great for the dogs altho right now, its looking more like a lake than a field.

Yesterday we went into Rapid City and went to the Prairie Edge Museum. They had lots of beautiful Indian crafts but pretty expensive. I did buy a small print and Carole bought some stuff, too. Rapid City is a neat little town. They have five foot tall bronze stautes of all the presidents on the street corners in the downtown area. In front of the Museum there is a statue of an Indian and one across the street (see photo).

Drove to Walmart to get some film developed, had lunch and drove to the Journey Museum which has a lot of prehistoric fossils of huge animals that lived here in the Black Hills including the huge sea turtle (see photo). We're going to the office to do laundry if the rain ever stops.
