Our trip from Yellowstone to Ellsworth, AFB (Rapid City, SD) needed an overnight stay. So we decided to stay in Buffalo, WY–pretty uneventful trip. We (or should I say Curt since he doesn’t let me drive) don’t like to drive more than 4 or so hours. This one was 4 hours away. We stayed at Deerpark RV Park. A very nice place with a pool (but we didn’t test the waters) and lots of trees. We actually stayed right next to another Reflection Travel Trailer who was also at the last campground with us as well. They were on their way to Iowa. He was an older gentleman and Curt helped him get his TV working. (Reminded me of my mom and the TV in FL—inside joke for my parents!!). We had a nice dinner and I was craving French fries and found a recipe on how to make French fries on a George Foreman grill. They turned out pretty good. It is funny that in our kitchen at home (when we get there and get it set up, that is) we have many different gadgets (i.e. Fry Daddy), but on the road you learn how to improvise.
The next day we headed out to Ellsworth, and came upon Little Big Horn. For those who don’t remember their American History, the Battle of Little Big Horn is where General George Armstrong Custer was killed in a battle between the 7th Calvary and the Lakota and Cheyenne Indians. The Indians were trying to preserve their nomadic way of life. Although the Indians won the battle, they ultimately lost the war. We learned a lot about Custer, the Indians and the battle by driving through and listening to an audio tour via our cell phone. It was very hot, no dogs allowed outside the parking lot and there was no parking at the visitor’s center, so we just did the audio driving tour—a big loop that was 4 miles round trip. There were pullouts that enabled you to listen while you learned about the different areas.
We arrived at Ellsworth and checked in around 1400. We reserved from the 11th to the 18th to stay here, but after stopping at the Visitor’s Center on the way in and seeing the many attractions here in the Black Hills of SD, and wanting some time to relax and write blogs, we asked if we could extend. So we will be here from 12th through the 20th. We haven’t planned any further, we will have to figure it out while we are here. Daisy loves this place, there are lots of bunny rabbits. She tried to go after one while she was tethered to the picnic table, but she couldn’t get very far and finally gave up chasing them while tethered. When we go for a walk, that is a different story, she wants to chase them all the time. But check this picture out how the bunny was torturing Daisy, but she just sat there and watched the bunny
