Pierre

We spent the morning driving the Needles Highway, winding among the buffalo in Custer State Park, and exploring Wind Cave, then pointed the car east.  We drove out the south route - through Oglala and Pine Ridge, then cutting across the eastern end of the Badlands before briefly rejoining I-90.

We stayed in Pierre on the east bank of the Missouri and I spent a little time early this morning walking along the river near the hotel.  I guess it doesn't look quite like it did when Lewis and Clark came by here in September, 1804.
