This oughta keep you occupied for a little while. There's about 100 pics from various locations throughout South Dakota. Every pic in here is within 2 hours of visgf's house.

All pictures were taken with my $150 Olympus D-340R digital camera. They were the low quality pics and vary from 50k-60k in size.

Feel free to ask anyquestions about specific locations.

Enjoy!

I know that we did :)

I'll have you know I'm very disappointed in you. I've been through every single pic, & there's not a single pic of visgf. Except for one maybe of her shoe...

Very good. I'm happy now. Just wanted to make sure the one pic I'd seen previously wasn't a fluke.

:D

So -- did you get your permit and go all the way -- beyond the sign, of course.

Nice pics. So did you fill out the little form at Devil's Tower so you could climb up the boulders? Shame shame! Now ya gotta go to the top on your next trip. :)

My wifes (who is from Souix Falls)Grandmother lives in Pierre so we have driven back many times and it is very beautiful country. We are usually in a hurry to get to grannies so we don't stop for to long but we are going to try and take some extra time to see the sights.

Nice Pics BTW. :)

That's a nice area of the country. Haven't been there in a while, but got good memories.

Driving through Custer State Park and having to wait for a herd of buffalo to cross the road. That was pretty cool. Or letting the road agents stop and poke their heads in the car (road agents = wild donkeys) to get a bite to eat. That was fun. Don't think my mom liked it too much though.

Cool, glad you guys and gals enjoyed them. visgf grew up about 3 miles outside of Custer.

Here's a couple shots from outside of her front door: View from visgf's front porch

Here's another: Another view from her front door.

The second shot has a faint outline of what's called "The Needles". If you are familiar with the area, then you know that it's a very beautiful collection of rock spires.

On a sadder note, here's what a cigarette butt thrown out of a car window can do to an area like this :( :

"Blackend" Hills
