Monday morning and time for us make are way back to Missouri. However, we don't simple load up and look for the quickest way back. No, instead we once again get on the Iron Mountain road, just a great ride in the Black Hills with its numerous winding curves, 3 times it loops up over itself and the two tunnels that line up to give a straight through look at Mount Rushmore in the far distance.
Then it is on to Custer State Park and the Wildlife Loop Drive. Very scenic with opportunities to take in the wildlife in residence there.
As you ride along the drive there are signs posted stating, "Buffalo are Dangerous, Do Not Approach". I would like to recommend a couple of additions for their signs. "Buffalo Poop on the Road Causes Slippery Conditions", and "Buffalo Galloping Toward You Should Be Considered EXTREMELY DANGEROUS". Just a couple of our observations.
Pronghorn (Antelope) are just too cute to be dangerous, actually they are quite shy.
Leaving Custer State Park, we continued on south into Nebraska, eventually turning onto state highway 2, which takes us across a great deal of the state. Nice scenic, low traffic, 2 lane road, great drive. We made it to Grand Island for the night. A very long, but very good day.
