Some sightseeing

One of the benefits of workkamping here in Custer is that we get a Visitor Industry Partners VIP Training Card that allows us free or reduced admission to area attractions. By being able to experience the areas attractions, we can better assist the tourists when questioned about the attractions to see. So, we decided to check out an attraction that interested us last year but we didn't visit.

Quoted from their brochure "Bear Country USA is a drive through wildlife park. Drivers can observe elk, wolves, reindeer, bison, big horn sheep, rocky mountain goats, mountain lions and other wildlife from the comfort of their own vehicle. The animals roam free in 200 acres of natural Black Hills habitat." On top of the wildlife loop, they also have Grizzly Bears and a section called Babyland. Did we enjoy it? Very much so. You can see our collection of pictures at Bear Country USA (just click on the named set on the right side of the page).

After we finished up at Bear Country USA, we drove into Rapid City, had lunch, and then stopped at the new stores for Scheels and Target. It had been a beautiful day when we left Custer but when we left Rapid City, it was cloudy and very windy. We even had some rain drops the closer we got to Custer.
