Well,  the drive from Nebraska to South Dakota was somewhat uneventful.  We stopped off and ate a sandwich by a lake with a cool playground and 45 mile per hour winds, but that was about it.

We arrived at the Black Hills and before we ever entered Custer State Park – bam – Buffalo were everywhere!  What a sight!

We reserved site 21 at Stockade Lake North and it was beautiful.  We had a rock fortress behind our campsite and a view of the lake just beyond that.  We camped up on a hill and could see everything and were protected from most of the rain.  It does rain in South Dakota in the summer and nobody will tell you that!  The site was huge and our tents are way in the back up on the hill.  There was enough room at most all of the Stockade North sites for multiple tents.  Lots of space between the sites.

The park is gorgeous and animals are everywhere.

More to come later.
