Pictures -

I'm going to hold off on the narration and let some of the kids share their thoughts later - that is, if they're not too tired! Right this minute, they are all swimming at Evan's Plunge, the hot springs-fed pool in Hot Springs, SD. Too soon to tell who will make it across the swinging rings over the pool...

Here are just a few pictures from the last day or two:







Lots of fishing but not much catching at the pond in front of our campsite at Custer State Park. We drove over to the Crazy Horse Monument yesterday and got to take the bus tour around the bottom of the mountain to get a closer look. Afterward we watched some traditional dancing presented by a local Lakota family.

This morning's drive to Hot Springs was the scenic route out of the State Park with plenty of wildlife to see. Only the burrows that roam the park are safe to get near.
