The Black Hills

We took a long weekend, loaded the car and headed to the Black Hills of South Dakota.  It was beautiful over there.  We took this road that had pigtail bridges where the road crosses over itself.  How cool to this engineer!  We took in Mt. Rushmore, Keystone, Hill City, rode the 1880 Train.  We also went to Reptile Gardens, the Cosmos and Bear Country.  Here is a picture filled post of what we saw and did.
