South Dakota Trip Day Four

Our day began with a walk to downtown Keystone to check out the taffy store where they make homemade saltwater taffy.  We then headed to Sylvan Lake, winded through Needles HWY, stopped at Custer State Park for a buffalo traffic jam, drove the Wildlife Loop and ended up at Blue Bell Lodge for our authentic chuck wagon dinner.
best flavor:  buffalo cherry
beautiful Sylvan Lake
Needles hwy
Yes, big coach buses go through these narrow tunnels...this was a beautiful drive but a little nail biting for us too.
Turning onto the Wildlife Loop...hence it's name.
The overly friendly burros who like to eat bread, bananas and crackers.  We found out they don't like tomatoes or apples.
I think he has had his picture taken before...
Welcome to Blue Bell Lodge
Custer State Park
I'm hungry...when do we get to go?
It's official:  we were cowboys and cowgirls for the evening


Our journey into the heart of Custer Park...a burnt out valley.
Time to eat!  They know how to prepare a steak in South Dakota!


Kate loved Kowboy Keith.  He was our entertainment for our wagon ride to our dinner destination.
Kowboy Keith and the girls.
Yes, we even bought one of his cds which Kate hasn't stopped playing.
What an awesome evening!
