VACATION IN SO DAKOTA WITH BRANHAMS

Here we are in Custer So. Dakota. All 16 of us in front of the cabins we rented for a week.
Ellen & Bud with Kristi Dawn and Jason. Tina & Blake Tubbs with Nyah and Trayson.
Jessie & Rob Price with Gunner, Bella and Ruger. Garn & Dorothy with Grandson Bridger
To Mt. Rushmore

What a awesome sight the faces of
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincon
Next stop Crazy Horse. Did you know all four Mt. Rushmore faces will fit inside his head.
Then to Bear Country
The area called Needles was very interesting. Six very small tunnels a car could barely fit through
Then the very tall rock called the NEEDLE.
Next stop was the ALPINE SLIDE. Here Ellen & Bud are rideing to the top.
Bridger enjoyed his ride down

Jessie was going a little too fast. Does she look scared?
Here we were having a picnic then everyone went swimming. This is CUSTER PARK. Kristi Dawn is looking for pine gum but she wouldn't chew it.
Lots of interesting rocks in CUSTER PARK. This is the PRICE FAMILY.

Now the TUBBS FAMILY looking thru the same hole in the rock.
BRIDGER felt very important having a national forest named after him.
Garn was also pretty proud to visit MARTIN'S COVE,
where his G. Grandfather Clark Allen Huntington helped carry the saints across the Sweet Water in the winter of 1856
Here is Brider by the Sweet Water River and one of the monuments to C.A. Huntington
What a nice way to end a wonderful vacation, sitting by the fireside singing our favorite old family songs. THANK YOU BUD AND ELLEN FOR SHARING YOUR FAMILY WITH US.
