This is trip 15, in 2015! We arrived in Phoenix (AZ) on March 25th and traveled North and East, taking in Jerome, Mogollon Rim, Zuni (NM), El Morro, Farmington, Durango (CO), Ridgway, Black Canyon NP, Breckenridge and Golden. Moving North from there we have been to Fort Collins, Laramie (WY), Cheyenne, Fort Laramie, Chadron (NE), and on to Custer (SD) to explore The Black Hills, as far North as Devil's Tower (WY). From there we have driven East to Dreadwood,then on to pickup our mail in Box Elder before exploring The Badlands NP. We have been to the capital Pierre (SD Capital), before driving North up the Missouri to Bismarck, the capital of North Dakota. We have finished towing by driving via Fargo and Sauk Centre to Minneapolis, where we will clean and store the rig, ready for us when we return for Trip 16 in the Fall (DV). On this trip we have towed the trailer just over 2800 miles.

Custer in The Black Hills

Friday
You can listen to this while you read
Well just for a change it looks like the weather will deteriorate after the weeknd, so we have decided to hang out here in Custer for a whole week!That is going to make a change as it is pouring with rain today.
Custer is sort of in the middle of the Southern part of the Black Hills. As well as the town itself and the very pretty scenery close by. To the south is one part of Custer State Park - known as the Wildlife Loop, while south of that is Wind Cave National Park. To the North is the Crazy Horse Mountain Sculpture, nearby is the Northern section of Custer State Park, known as The Needles. While a good way further North is the Mount Rushmore Monument. So it is a good place to see most of the attractions of the area.
Today however there was very little worth seeing, except the rain. We had a slow day at home. In the afternoon the rains stopped so we went and explored Custer. We went into Shopco and then went for a meal in a very forgettable family diner, quite a miserable day really. Tomorrow should be better.

    please take photos of Crazy Horse Monument so we can see how much(or not) they have progressed. We've seen it twice and it certainly is a long term job!
