Yesterday we toured wind Cave, which Lucas liked. It was a quiet day, with the afternoon spent at our campsite just enjoying the scenery (and the cookout!)
We DID see a buffalo up close, on our way back from Wind Cave:
This isn’t all that unusual in the Black Hills, since the Hills are home to one of the largest herds left. But we thought it was kind of strange to see one lone bull just grazing next to the road.
Today we had to go into town to get our groceries. As we arrived in town, we heard a “peep, peep” that sounded REALLY familiar. We looked around, and much to Lucas’ eternal pleasrue, Thomas the Tank Engine was pulling into the train station, with his coaches!
WOW! A full sized Thomas, caught being a Really Useful Engine here in the middle of nowhere, South Dakota! Needless to say, Lucas had his picture taken with Thomas. He just wanted to look, though, not ride (I think he was afraid that if we took a ride, maybe we’d miss eating all the cookout food we had just bought…)
