What Should I Do Of My Sore, Chap Itchy Lips

Mount Rushmore / Black Mountian

were soon back in Alabama, we once again on tour, this time with four of our caravan. We spent 2 1 / 2 days in the car and finally reached the Black Hills in South Dakota.




One can immediately see on the welcome sign to what one has to visit in the state.


We did then.
Once the dark, where a kind of light show took place over a film the Construction of the monument, and illustrations that President (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln left).



And again the next day in the sunshine. This time we approached from the other side (Custer State Park).

In the background is Mount Rushmore (seen in the picture a little difficult).



The area is very scenic and we enjoyed great views and interesting tunnel.


Slowly we came closer!




Here we are for the second time the famous Mount Rushmore National Memorial (even had to pay only once Parkgebuehren). It is a real Pilgerstaette that any proud American should probably visit once in his life. Frankly, we had the whole, presented a bit bigger. But we can say at least now, we have seen it!







The visit to Mount Rushmore, we had then fairly quickly checked, and so we decided not to "Bear Country" to drive. When pure driving in the Black Hills, we had already discovered this park. One can travel by car (similar to a safari park) and see deer, wolves, bighorn sheep, bison, mountain lions and bears in particular. Actually, you can find all these animals there directly into the wild, but since you have already really good luck (or misfortune) have. From the car we all had in any case a much more secure feeling.



It was really many bears there, at all from the cars did not disturb (are the most used to).



this species I would like in the wild but not respond!



then you could still run by the breeding center and admire a grizzly bear (an extra enclosure has). made




The baby bear it in the shade comfortable.


The way back to us again fuerte through Custer State Park, will be where to look, according to guide books are still great bison herds.
But this hill were made to discover any.


Time and again we were able to observe deer, however, as here, a mother with her child.


They are so still! What we had seen previously only in the zoo, we could now admire in the wild without a fence in front. Sorry, we did not get closer to the bison approach (was no paved road in this direction).






After a last stop at the lake (unfortunately had no bathing suits included), we returned back to the campsite.




And hopped in the pool (as could every night).



Then we had a little warmer by the fire, because the pool water was very fresh and the evening cools, the air from quite beautiful.
