You may not know, But I am a descendant of Custer. Yes, that Custer. So, knowing I’d be near the National Park by his name, we thought we’d drop by so I could pay my respects. The town of Custer, SD is tiny, with about 3,000 residents. “Imagine being a student at school there,” remarked Zoo. “We’re going to massacre you!”
Mauvais goux, but true, I assume. Have to say the National Park was breathtaking. Windy roads and (a few) buffalo. The Black Hills are truly wonderful. Visit if you can.
We also visited Crazy Horse – amazing to see something that will rival Mt. Rushmore in progress. Ten more years and the horse’s head will be done. 100 years and the whole thing will be done.

Hi… just feeling a little homesick so I did a search for Custer, SD and came up with your blog! Tell your friend, Zoo that it was horrific being a student in the Custer school system! ” Custer’s Last Stand” was a familiar theme at sporting events! Hope you enjoyed your visit! It’s an amazing place to visit, just not to live!
