Poor Pat was dreading camping but It really couldn't have been worse! There was severe thunderstom warnings for our county but we played it down for Pat. Unfortunatly it was pretty bad-torrential rains, gale winds rain in the tents and only 6 degrees -We have a cabin for tonight but it's back to camping after that.( we haven't told her)
After a not so good sleep we decided to make an early start. We visited Tatanka- a beautiful spot outside of deadwood that had informaiton on the history of the Sioux and their relationship with the Buffalo. The Site is situated on a hilltop with a fantastic view overlooking the great plains. The main attraction was the huge bronze lifesize sculputers of a buffalo hunt up to a buffalo jump.
Following Tatanka we took a scenic drive through the Spearfish canyon national park to see some waterfalls, limestone cliffs and ponderosa pines.
Just to completely pack our day we then took a jaunt down to Mt rushmore still in the black hills to see the monument and had a lovely walk around the area and saw some mountain goats on the hillside.
