June 24 Day 4 Custer Park

Our new friends Tim and Amy and others told us to drive through Custer Park to see lots of wild life.

Especially Buffalo. Well, we never did see buffalo, however we did see the Wild Burros. They are descendants of the burros that use to take tourist to the top of Mt. Rainey. When they ended the trips they let the burros loos and they flourished in Custer Park. The only other wild life were prong horn deer

Doogie is quite at home riding on the console. He can hang on really good in the switch backs.

We almost didn't stop to see this memorial in progress.

It is massive. in perspective Mt. Rushmore would barely fill up the space behind his head. This was started in 1948. Korczak Ziolkowskiwas commissioned by Cheif Standing Bear to build the monument. 

He has passed on. His wife and 7 of his 10 children are still building it.
