DAY 10 - WILDLIFE LOOP DONKEYS - CUSTER STATE PARK, SD

JUNE 27, 2012
Part One

         Today we drove the Wildlife Loop in Custer State Park which is Rt. 16A.

                                   Our goal was to see as much of their animal kingdom
as possible.  The first to greet us were the wild Donkeys that seemed really tame, as you can see in the photos..

We are so glad the $15 Entrance fee entitles us to visit for anywhere from 1 to 7 days.  What a bargain.  It helps keep the Visitor Centers open where we get such helpful information from the Rangers, and nice clean restrooms, and gift shops.  The nature identification book I purchased the first day has become a great reference book that I turn to every day.  It is:  WILDFLOWERS, GRASSES & OTHER PLANTS of the NORTHERN PLAINS and BLACK HILLS by Theodore Van Bruggen.  My friend Doug is blessed to have an autographed copy.  He once was in a class or taught a class in which the author was present.  Pretty cool, how our lives become interwoven with folks.
