We had a rocky start with little sleep, so our first priority was to fix Ringo. Shout out to my vet (Dr Hammonds: aka Wills dad) at Reems Creek who helped solve the Ringo issue over the phone and made our next night a literal dream.
Putting that poop issue behind us, we had so much fun in the the Black Hills we just stayed a second night there. We even got a Campsite with electric and turned on the ac in the T@g-Along.
Our travel tour started back up the Needles Hwy. Right after getting started, we arrived at the first tunnel and found two 18 – 20 foot horse trailers trying to turn around. We snuck through right before their attempts.
Here’s another shot of the smallest tunnel (needles eye)

We got to Rushmore and I needed to get fresh with George.

What the mountain looked like pre carving
After Mt Rushmore we continued to our campsite (Legion Lake) via Iron mountain road, which has tunnels that literally frame Mount Rushmore. If you ever go to south dakota I highly recommend Custer park.
At a distance it looks like Appalachia.

Great pictures! Didn’t we visit the Black Hills and the Badlands with you when you were a kid?

We did not have time to see it all. We have to save something for next time 😉
