What a busy 3 days off we've had. On Wed 7/25/12 we got our So Dakota drivers license. Then Thursday 7/26 we dropped off the paperwork to get our vehicles registered in So Dakota, as well. So it's official we are So Dakota residents. After dropping of the paperwork we drove to Custer and had lunch at The Purple Pie Place. It had been recommended to us by a visitor while we wee in Texas. They didn't stir us wrong. Dale said it was the best rhubarb pie he'd ever had. After lunch we drove to the National Woodworking Museum there in Custer....what a great place. Then on to Jewel Cave. The longest cave in North America. On our way home we stopped off in Hill City, what a fun place. We're going to go back there. Sturgis motorcycle rally is starting in a few days so we'll probably be sticking around the house. However Dale has been saying we might take a drive over to just check it out. Haha...I know he's wanting to check out the Biker Chicks. Parking will be the main issue. There are so many people that come into the area for the rally that there is just so much traffic at all the tourist attractions. On Friday 7/27 we went to Devils Tower about 60 miles from us here in Spearfish. It was a great drive. What we saw of Wyoming was very pretty. On the way back we stopped off in Aladdin (pop 15) there was a 100 yr old general store there...and of course the "Liars Bench" I made sure to get a picture of Dale sitting on the bench:) then on to Belle Fourche. We stopped off at the Center of the Nation and Tri State Museum. Very interesting. However I have to stay the most impressive thing was our visit to Devils Tower. It wasn't as big as I was expecting...but it was definately a Close Encounter not to forget.
