A final list

Wendy’s highlights:
  •    quality time with my wonderful family

 That one stands alone.  The following are in no particular order:
  •         the sky
  •         Badlands (most astounding)
  •         large and vocal bison surrounding us at Custer (most amazing)
  •         big bears and cubs at Bear Country, USA
  •         Mt. Rushmore (the inspiration for the trip; impressive in person)
  •         tiny tunnels, twisty turns and panoramic views on Needles Highway
  •         giant jackalope at Wall Drug (best photo op)
  •         Spam Museum (weirdest detour)
  •         birthday dinner at Cowboy CafĂ©
  •         ‘gators, snakes, frogs, and Henda, the fortune-telling chicken at Reptile Gardens
  •         RV sliders  (see the video!)
  •        the aroma of fresh air and the sounds of chirping insects at night
  •        “Jumping Carpet” at Jellystone Campground
  •        the swimming pool amid the Black Hills at J Bar Campground
  •        donuts and 5 cent coffee at Wall Drug
  •         passing truckers at 75mph in the RV (note:  S. Dakota speed limit is 75!)
  •         lots of laughter
