A big Attraction at Custer State Park are the “Beggin’ Burros”. Decended from the burros that used to take tourist to the top of Harney peak, these critters have learned that they can get hand outs from the park visitors. They are considered wild so no matter how tame they appear, approach with caution.
About Custer State Park, SD
Buffalo spread over the rolling hills at Custer State Park
Custer State Park, SD is named for George A Custer of Little Big Horn Fame. Although the expedition he led is best know for finding gold in the Black Hills, Custer was most interested in the natural beauty of the area.
Custer State Park is a 71,000 acre reserve that is home to free roaming herds of bison, elk, pronghorn, mule deer and White tail and the list goes on.

Hello World
Editor in Chief
Like any move, I am getting used to my new “digs”. I’m looking forward to getting this off to a good start. No I didn’t move my home, just the blog address. We’re moving from blogspot to wordpress. We won’t finish the move and make it final until the South Dakota series is complete. This is just a test post. My “staff” has to get used to the new format.
We’ve temporaily misplaced the prairie dog. In the first try he got “squashed”. Pretty funny if I do say so. Then we created a little “side” picture but it hasn’t shown up yet so we’re using one of wordpress’ stock headers for now. Like I said, the “staff” has to get used to the new format. We’ve got our blog roll and flickr link up and you can subscribe now which is better than that follower link. I think this is going to be a better fit once we all get used to it.
By the way, you can find a link to each blog in the blog roll list to make it easier to go back and forth between the two locations.
