Custer State Park

Today we went to Custer. When we first got there, we drove about 20 minutes and hadn't seen any wildlife to speak of. Then we came accross a herd of Bison right by the road. I got out my video camera because some people were so close I thought I may be able to submit the video to "When Animals Attack V" Unfortunately nothing happened. I did have some concerns of my own though. I read that the bulls could be aggressive in August for mating season, so I was afraid that a dominate male could either start ramming or humping the Smart Car. Luckily we were able to conclude our visit to the park with our dignity in tact. We also saw some pronghorns, and some "wild" donkeys that were begging for food.

On edit - We went back to Custer State Park on Sunday (8/16/09) and I took a video of some bison. I was able to upload the video to this blog. Unfortunately they were standing much farther away than the herd we originally saw, but it will give you an idea of whats out there.

On a side note, Nan and I have been eating at the Silverado Casino in Deadwood for breakfast. They have the 2-coiner breakfast for 50 cents. It's 2 eggs, 2 peices of toast, and roasted potatos. I tell Nan to only drink water so the 2 of us can get out for only $1.20 (after my generous 20% tip). That last part is a joke, but the breakfast really is good.
