Hot Springs, SD

Saturday - A short travel day. After filling up our fresh water, propane, and gas tanks, we headed south to Hot Springs, SD, where Fairbanks friends Rick and Susie landed. We are mooch docking in front of their barn for a couple of days before heading north for the Buffalo Roundup in Custer State Park. 

Sunday - It is a warm-ish 79°F right now but the light breeze is nice. This is a beautiful area.

Tuesday - We headed into Rapid City as Bridget had a prescription waiting and Rick had a few things to pickup. 

We stopped at Reptile Gardens just south of Town. They had a snake show and a raptor show plus a lot of reptiles and other animals.  

To me, the real standout was the landscaping. It was very well done and colorful. 

The huge tortoises and the variety of snakes from around the world was incredible. It looked like a real tourist trap from the highway but it turned out to be much better than expected.
