OK, is it just me, or has anyone else ever heard of Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota? Apparently it is the first cave to receive that distinction. The entire cave is located under one square mile of surface area, but is one of the longest caves ever found. Imagine a one mile square bowl of spaghetti, and you get the idea. Here is what Laura had to say about the day's activities:
Today we had to leave the KOA. Our slide out would not come in, but we finally got it back (after dad kicked it a few times)! Then, we went to the Wind Caves National Park and took an hour long tour. It was very neat and there were some cool formations called Box Work that are millions of years old. When we got to Nebraska, it was completely flat until we got to our campground. There are some really neat mountain like things all around us. My dad calls them "Bluffs", but my word choice paints a better picture. ;-) Our campsite is amazing, with barely anyone here! Tomorrow we will go horseback riding to the top of them and go back to South Dakota. This is the best campground ever!
Tomorrow we will tell you about our adventures in Fort Robinson, Nebraska...

Hello Whitney family! We have really enjoyed keeping up with your travels! We actually went into a few caves last weekend ourselves! They are in the Pryor Mountains. There were fossils everywhere, especially on the ceiling of the caves! This weekend we are off to Cooke City. We will hike to Grasshopper Glacier to see huge prehistoric grasshoppers. I am kind of scared! :) I will let you know if it was worth the 6 mile hike! Take care and talk to you soon!
Love,
Michelle
