Today's "Top of the Blog" Comment

We left Rocky Mountain National Park for home today shortly before Noon after getting a phone call that Ellen Foyle passed away this (Saturday) morning.
We were just ready to start a 5 day camping stay inside the park but in no way could we enjoy that special event knowing we would not be there for Ellen and her family.
Within 90 minutes of getting the phone call we were on the road heading home.
We drove 400 of the 1200 miles to get home today and will be home on Monday.
This is probably the end of the blog.

From within we can only say that Ellen Foyle holds a very special place in our hearts and she will be deeply missed.
Love, Ellen & Jim

THURSDAY - CUSTER STATE PARK

We drove about 120 miles to arrive at Custer State Park.  It's huge!  More like a National Park.

An online check before arriving indicated no sites with electricity available (due to the Holiday weekend).  When we got here we could have opted for a one night stay with electricity in one campground, one night stay with electricity in a different campground, then yet a third move to a non-electric site to finish out our stay.  We opted to just go the non-electric campground and "rough it" for our entire 3 or 4 day stay.

No time to post pictures tonight but tomorrow night will do so.

In the morning we are heading out early for Mt. Rushmore and The Crazy Horse Monument.

More tomorrow night.
