This
post represents another installment in the series detailing the first of our
three cross country National Parks camping trips.
Our visit to the Black Hills of South Dakota was an excellent one –
with the exception of forgetting to pack our daughter’s bathing suit in
anticipation of a stop at Sylvan Lake.
That did not go over well at all.
(Note to self: Always pack the
beach bag on a day out even if you’re not sure you’ll come upon any swimming
holes.) We pulled out of the Mystery
Mountain Resort in Rapid City, South Dakota, the following morning and
continued west into Wyoming. That
evening’s destination was Itch-Kep-Pe Park, a small city campground in
Columbus, Montana, that would provide us with safe harbor for a quick overnight
stop. But first . . . Devil’s Tower!
