All Good Things Must Come to an End (for now): South Dakota to New Jersey

Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and Custer State Park
July 13 – 15, 2016: We arrived at Center Lake Campground, in Custer State Park in South Dakota, in the early evening after driving the Spearfish Canyon State and National Forest Scenic Byway on the way from Devils Tower, Wyoming.

July 10 – 12, 2016: Glacier National Park marked the northernmost point on our epic 2016 road trip and, unfortunately, we are now slowly headed back east to New Jersey.
