Home, Home on the Range where the deer and the antelope play

I am posting this from one of my very favorite parts of the west-The Black Hills of South Dakota. I love this place almost as much as the beach. We started out from Lusk, Wyoming. The weather was so-so when we started but not so nice by the time we finished. We toured Wind Cave National Park. Unusual cave but fun. Drove around the park grounds looking for those roaming buffalo. Only saw a few. Did see lots of deer and antelope playing (all in Custer State Park) as well as wild turkeys by the 100's and wild burros looking for handouts and holding up traffic. They were so funny. One looked like he was bred with a dalmation. We drove the Needles higway with all these outstanding rock formations. Went out for dinner in Hill City(where we are staying). Town pretty much is rolled up. Matt got fried steaktips, Randy got buffalo steak. Kris and I got unremarkable fare. I did get corn nuggets as an appetizer which are bite size corn fritters.

Tomorrow there is a winter storm advisory. At least it feels and looks like fall up here. Did I say how much I love this place. The kids, well that is a different story entirely. They are not handling being away from technology too well.

Nothing about the Wheatland WY Burger King being closed on a Friday evening due to lack of employees?
