Thank you
We are a couple of French newly retired people and we are planning a trip to South Dakota and Yellowstone at the end of August, so your diary is very useful to us.
Yours friendly. Denise

Wow. What a fantastic journal. I get to live in the Black Hills (woohoo!), so I really want to write a novel in response to some of your experiences. I guess I'll keep it to just a few comments...

1. The Badlands is one of my favorite places, too. The weather can be brutal, though. Really, the best time to visit is in the fall, about September/October.

2. The Lakota store in Rapid City you talk about is called Prairie Edge. It's a great art gallery. A bit high-brow.

3. Good job picking Custer State Park. It's one of the best things to add to a Black Hills vacation, hands-down. I'm a bit of a history nut, and if I recall from my reading, state officials were quick to make it a state park because they knew federal officials wanted to make it a national park, and they wanted to retain control. Frank Lloyd Wright loved the Black Hills, and during a visit in the 1920s he suggested the location of the current Sylvan Lake Lodge. It's got a great view of the lake and Harney Peak. My folks got married there.

I'll stop there. But what a great trip! Hope you get to come out this way again sometime.
