We camped in the Black Hills, drove through Custer State Park, and in general enjoyed ourselves. 20 years later, we took our 4 kids back with us to camp again. We went to the same photo shop that had taken our "wedding photo", and had them pose us in a barroom scene, with me as the floozy, husband as the sheriff, oldest son as the bartender, and the other 3 kids as typical western bar inhabitants. It was a lot of fun! We'll head back some day, especially since one of our sons is now pursuing his masters in Geology. He loved the Badlands back then, he'd want to live there now!Fiona McGierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495707848048468428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493137999097550682.post-88356013858457015022015-10-12T06:56:29.720-05:002015-10-12T06:56:29.720-05:00Sounds like a lovely place to visit.

My husband walked up a trail with some mountain goats and I headed for the terrace, hoping to get a decent picture through the thickness. As if on cue, the fog lifted like a heavy curtain and I took to clear pictures of the monument before the curtain fell again. It was a Godly moment, indeed. Kristin, your books sound fascinating. Best of luck with future endeavors. Let us know when God on Mayhem Street releases.<br /><br />Susan Whitfield, multi-genre author<br />www.susanwhitfieldonline.com<br />ssn.whitfield@gmail.com<br />Susan Whitfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01215871952420224793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493137999097550682.post-41396320028792596202015-10-11T10:47:56.403-05:002015-10-11T10:47:56.403-05:00Your celebration trip certainly looks and sounds u...Your celebration trip certainly looks and sounds unforgettable.

My husband and I have just returned from the same journey you describe here. And you expressed my own feelings perfectly. I was rather neutral about taking this group tour but now I'd love to go back! What breathtaking beauty this state holds. Thank you for a return to South Dakota today and a firsthand description of all we saw with pictures!Linda Swifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749255692298669394noreply@blogger.com
