Where We Went (Wind Cave & Custer State Park)

Spring Break part 4


For today's journey we headed to Wind Cave National Park.  We did a cave tour- it is a pretty unique cave.  There are no stalagmites or stalactites but what is called "box work" and "popcorn".  And it is fairly long.



The "entrance" to the cave- it breathes sometime the air comes in and sometimes the air blows out

Some crystals- Adam had a fun time with his flashlight trying to find them

"Box work"- fossilized cracks from when this used to be the sea.  They were originally thought to be fossilized spider webs- Ick!

This pregnant lady had quite a time going down all the stairs...

Then to finish their Jr. Ranger badges the boys had to go for a little hike.






On the way back to the hotel we drove through Custer State Park and ran into a herd of these guys...


Luckily this guy moved to the side because he was right in our lane.


Roll over in the nice bath Mr. Bison!
Pretty awesome being so close to these animals!
