June 19, 2013 Day 12

Sunshine    84     Big Pine Campground - Custer, South Dakota

The smiles were big today as we rode the 1880 steam train from Hill, S.D. to Keystone, S.D. and back through the Black Hills.  In the afternoon we did Custer State Park wildlife loop.  How exciting to see the first buffalo , elk, antelope,  prairie dogs, and lots of deer with their fawns.  (We have seen deer run through our campground.)  Then you see a herd of hundreds of buffalo and another herd and  another herd, etc.  Our last stop was the Wind Cave National Park.  The cave was different from other caves in that you see popcorn and frostwork along the trail - no stalagmites. Our ranger sang " Happy Birthday" to Fred.  WOW - what a beautiful voice.  Everyone loves we are from Hershey and our Hershey Kisses.
