Custer State Park

Today we spent the day in Custer State Park.  We drove around the Wild Life Loop where we saw Antelopes, Prairie Dogs, and lots of Buffalo.  We took a dirt road off of the main loop and almost ran right into the back of a heard.  They were walking right down the road, I didn't see them until I came over the crest of the hill.  It was an amazing sight there were about 40 plus the calves.  They blocked the road for quite a while while they were walking.  Here is a link to video we shot.  Custer State Park Buffalo
We had buffalo for lunch, it was ground and wrapped with bacon.  It tasted very good.



 We also went to the the Hot Springs Mammoth site.  They found skeletons of  Mammoths that are about 26,000 years old.  They were preserved in a mound of dirt. They put a building over the dig site and we could see the bones of many mammoths where they are digging.  The rain held off for most of the day. We hit some rain as we came over one peak and could see where they had quite a bit of pea size hail.  Thankfully we didn't get any of that.
Tomorrow we go to the Bad Lands so I hope the rain stops before we get there.
