The past four days have been busy for me. Dad rode along with Barb and her kids for a visit to the Black Hills. Saturday was spent in Rapid City. After attending a parade that Cathy marched in, we went to Dinosaur Park, Chapel on the Hill, and Storybook Island. Sunday included a drive through Vanocker Canyon, finding Dad’s brother Rich’s new house in Sturgis, Old MacDonald’s Farm, and then Flintstone Village in Custer. Monday was the northern tour of Deadwood (Mt. Moriah cemetery), Lead, Spearfish Canyon (Roughlock Falls, Spearfish Falls), Spearfish, Wyoming (cross the border so the kids could say they have been in the state) and a dip in the pool. Tuesday consisted of the 1880 Train, Needles Highway, Mount Coolidge, Wildlife Loop (saw lots of buffalo), Iron Mountain Road (tunnels and pig tales are fun), and of course no visit to the Black Hills is complete without a visit to Mount Rushmore.
