Keystone and Custer sites

Debbie's blog: Ok so it RAINED all night and now all day. We decided to forgo the Mt. Rushmore and Crazy horse stops for today because a forecast of sunny and warm is set for tomorrow. So we will go see those sites tomorrow. We did spend a leisurely morning eating breakfast and then set out on an awesome, hairaising drive through the black hills with corkscrew and hairpin turns, and also one lane narrow rock tunnels. Incredible views and sites. We went back to Keystone and did the Borglum museum (carver of the faces on Mt. Rushmore) which was neat and informative. Then we had buffalo burgers for lunch and then off to have a fudge shop, some shopping, and then to a taffy shop. Grandma U purchased two large bags of assorted taffy flavors (35 flavors in all I think). We then set off to the RV and headed to set up camp in Custer, SD at Beaver Lake Campground for 2 nights.
We arrived at the campground at a decent time of 3:30ish, set up camp in the break in rain, had snacks, waited out the rain and then actually had dinner over the campfire tonight!!! We then played "guess the taffy flavor" with Grandma Utpadel the taffy nazi at the helm!!! It was fun. We then made hobo popcorn and smores. The fire is nice and warm and guess what?? THE RAIN HAS STOPPED!!!! We are finally enjoying the camping experience again. Nice relaxing, non scheduled day finally!!!
Tomorrow, in the nice weather, we will hit Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse, and maybe a few geocaches.

Plan on visiting tomorrow!!
