Wow – what a day. Started off slow & lazy, but when we got going, we went and went like the energizer bunny! We left around noon and made it back to the camper about 6 PM. That’s a long day for me. Lot’s of getting in and out of truck, walking in and out of places. I am turning in shortly because we have lots to see tomorrow. We drove around the whole state park and stopped at each lodge, general store, and campground. Along the wildlife loop we saw elk, buffalo, pronghorn, whitetail deer, & prairie dogs. We drove up the road called Needle Highway to Sylvan Lake Lodge (still in the park, way to the northwest) and went through two very narrow tunnels. I closed my eyes in the one called Needles Eye Tunnel – it measured 8’4″ wide X 11’3″ tall – we had to pull in the mirrors to go through. When we got to the other side (and we did) Tony measured the truck – we had 10 inches to spare on each side with mirrors in; only 3 inches if the mirrors had been left out. We ate late lunch/supper at Sylvan Lake Lodge and then drove back to campground a different way, going back through Custer City. Lots of pictures to finish up the day.
This is the lake and lodge across the road from our campsite.
