This is part three of our trip.  Go to The Thursday September 27 posting for the first part of the trip.

Leaving Mount Rushmore we drive to our campsite at the Sylvan Lake campground in Custer State Park.  The campground is on the Needles Highway.  For those of you unfamiliar with the Needles Highway it is a mostly two lane road winding over, around, and literally through some of the rock formations making up part of Custer State Park.

This is the second part of our trip.  You can go to the start by going to the Thursday Sept 27, 2018 posting.

We enjoy the next several days at my mom’s house visiting, cooking, going out to eat and touring the area.  The fall colors are just coming in so the occasional red, yellow or orange covered tree is a treat.  Each night as we walk through and around town we spot several deer; some of them bounding off at their first sight of us, others watching from a safe distance.

Instead of making the usual quick dash back to NM I am making a circle route by way of MN, SD, WY, and CO.  This is a reconnaissance trip.  I don’t have as much time as I would like to spend at each of my destinations.  Instead I am beginning my list of places to visit when I am out of a job - by choice.
