Custer SP part 2

So on day two at Custer we did the tour around the park.  There are some stunning vistas that were difficult to photograph but we tried, more to come. We also visited Mt. Rushmore which is an iconic image from my child hood.  My dad was a life long railroad employee like his father and the annual Union Pacific calendar with its full page color photos was much anticipated.  Mt. Rushmore was often included.  I found the actual sight larger than life and a moving tribute to our democracy. Unlike every other place we've been it was crowded.  All kind of folks there, many clearly first generation Americans.  Good to see! Took us most of the day to see the entire area. 
Also worth mentioning here is that the campground has a flock of demented wild turkeys. Almost the entire day the toms chase the females around the campground going "gobble, gobble, gobble" incessantly. Before this I heard a turkey gobble maybe once in my life. 
We settled in for a quiet night when we had the mother of all thunderstorms.  The lightening was impressive but the thunder reverberated back and forth between the cliffs.  Carole wanted to abandon the camper for the bathrooms but that ship had sailed so we waited it out at 2am as golf ball size hail hit the camper. Nothing quite like a thunderstorm on the Plains.  Attaching a video of our visiting buffalo.

Our next stop was supposed to be Yellowstone but they are expecting a foot of snow at the north entrance tomorrow so clearly we need a new plan!
