So our journey continued on into Iowa which was non eventful. We landed in Sioux Falls, S.D. for a couple of days to rest. We did go to the waterfalls the city is named for. Nit very tall but worth the visit. 
Heading to Box Elder from Sioux Falls was so boring. 326 miles of boring. This is your view all the way there.
We checked into the america's mailbox campground for 4 days to so we could see the sights. This is one area you should make an attempt to see. First, we made our way to Wall Drugs which I understand is a necessity as RV'ers. We shopped and bought the required tee shirts. Next we went back in time to the days of Duck and Cover at the Minuteman Missile National Historical Site. This is a great display from the Cold War days.
Next we visited The Badlands National Park. I can't describe the colors and formations that we saw. The valleys and mountains, the different colors of sediment that make up the mountains is unbelievable.
Custer State Park was a pretty landscape, rolling hills beautiful trees and Bison everywhere. They say there are 1300 head of buffalo in the park. We got lucky the day we were there, I think we saw all 1300.

There are also many pronghorn that roam this park, not to mention prairie dogs and deer.
After Custer State Park we went to Mount Rushmore National Memorial. Not to be missed. The carving alone is just amazing. |

We were scheduled to leave Rapid City on Monday but received a call from the people we will be working for in Cody, Wy. saying don't come across the Bighorn mountains and stay out of Cody because there's no water due to the weather. So we're here in Rapid City till tomorrow. We leave in the morning for Sundance, Wyoming.
