Rapid City, SD

We have arrived! Bob and I made the three hour trip from Presho, SD to Rapid City without incident and we are tucked up in our campsite for the next week or so. Along the way we saw the topography change.

We saw fields of sunflowers growing. Such a pretty sight. They reminded us of traveling through Bulgaria, years ago, where the hills and fields were covered with yellow sunflowers. It's something we'll never forget.

As we got closer to our destination we started to see rock formations that disappeared and reappeared along the plains.

This is our view from our campsite.

We are close to Custer State Park, Mt Rushmore, and Badlands National Park. But it will most likely be a couple of days before we start our sightseeing because the weather forecast is predicting heavy rain tomorrow. Ah well, at least we didn't have to drive the motorhome in it. And we really don't have any hard time frames here so we will stay until we have seen what we want to see. I'm sure there are museums around here, too.

So tomorrow most likely will be a day to run errands.

  2. We stayed at the Rapid City Elks Lodge Campground, but you must be an Elk to stay there.
