The Black Hills
It was in the 30's last night. Some people are sleeping in tents (yikes!)
Today we drove over the scenic, but narrow winding "Needles highway". Yes, there is a thunder storm going on as I write this, but it's not bad: last week the Needles highway was closed due to a snow storm. the Needles are these vertical spires of granite. We are included in the photos to show that there are hours of good weather and we haven't gone crazy yet.

And the road builders thought tunnels 8ft 4in wide would be fine for cars to get through:
There is wildlife everywhere.
Then we went to Sylvan lake (Sandy-thanks for the recommendation) which is surrounded by granite upheavals. We had a picnic because we only saw two small patches of unmelted snow; and because Joy brought hot soup in thermos containers (genius!)
