On the trip we were able to go to Deadwood, ride the 1880 train, visit Mt. Rushmore, go to Hill City taffy shop, eat at the Game Lodge 3 times (yum!!!), drive the Game Loop trail twice, fish almost every morning and night, hike Harney Peak, and many others! Here are more pictures for your enjoyment!

Trip to South Dakota... the Black Hills, Custer State Parl

The first night in Deadwood....after 18 hours straight in a car and setting up camp. We look pretty good and not too tired!

In August James and I went to the Balck Hills in South Dakota for a camping vacation and for me to meet his parents! It was an awesome trip to say the least with tons of site seeing adventures and being able to camp out in the 40 degree weather for a week! I am now officially an "outdoor woman"... braving the cold nights and even cleaning fish! I will share some of the pics from our trip.
