trip continued.......

After we finished Bear Country, we went to The Reptile Gardens. That was alot of fun, they have many many snakes and reptiles that you will never see in any other zoos or inclosures. My favorite tho was the Praire Dogs. They communitcate by doing sitting up and letting off a bark and sitting down, they look like there doing The Wave, I could sit and watch them for hours. We saw the bird show and snake show while there. This is a must see adventure if you ever get the chance. Jessicas favorite was the bearded dragons and the other lizards and skinks they have. Im thinking the giant tortuse was also a hilight to her. Pix above bear baby and bobcat from the Bear Country and Jessica with the big tortuse (he was over 100 years old) at the Reptile gardens.
From there we went driving threw the small towns and the hills by Mt Rushmore. We found over looks that had the most beautiful views and we saw many streams and small critters along the way. We got back around to Mt Rushmore at about sunset but it was getting rather chilly so we didnt spend alot of time walking around there. We went back to the campsite and cooked dinner and toasted marshmellows, then it was pretty much time to sleep. We had such a full day we were all tired.
