Diesel Prices in the Black Hills

clock February 21, 2009 17:42 by author Administrator

Good Evening,

 I know that fuel prices can be a big determiner of one's vacation plans. The cost of fuel seems to be on many folks minds. The good news is we are seeing low fuel prices for this year. It is a great time to comes visit the Black Hills and see Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse.

If you are interested I have found a great site on Map Quest that will let you know the fuel prices in Custer. As of Feb 21 2009 diesel was at 2.09 at my favorite station in town. Much different than last year where I was paying more than 4 bucks. 

 Here is the link to the map quest site.

I know you will find it useful.

 Safe Travels.

Live.com Mount Rushmore oops

clock February 16, 2009 15:21 by author Walt

Don't know if you caught it today. Live.com had an issue with their wonderful photo's today. I personally really live live.com and their search. I get great results and can easily find resources on the internet using the site. One really nice feature of live.com is the image they post every day. It typically is very scenic and innovative.  Today the image was very innovative. It was a familiar picture for those of us that spend a lot of time in the Black Hills. Yes…I am talking Mount Rushmore.  Today when I was searching for some camping information I saw the familiar faces and thought…wow…that is cool. However, something was wrong…I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. Something just didn’t feel right about the photo.

Of course the photo was Mount Rushmore…everyone knows those faces. I even had my daughter draw me a picture of it a week or so ago. She was asking me what she could draw and I said…well..why not Mount Rushmore. She did a great job and it was that picture that helped me solve my confusion with the live.com image before me. Oh…I see it now…George is on the right…when he should be on the left.  And good old Abe was on the left…instead of the right. Since it was president’s day I now know why the image was up.  I started thinking to myself… I wonder how long it will take them to notice. I had a good laugh and went on to look up some camping and RV sites. 

Not two hours later the world was back in-order. I was at the site searching for some other Mount Rushmore information and George was back in a more familiar place.   I guess in these days of photo shop it is easy to click flip 180. I no longer have to worry about whether I have a good-side or bad side. Photo shop will fix it.    



Importance of Olympics

Hey there campers.

 I know many of you how important the olympics are to our world community during these tough times. We recently found this gem on youtube that those of you with wifi will appreciate.

While this does not have anything directly related to camping I want you to know that you can view any video from our campground using our high speed Wifi. The world is really moving toward on demand delivery of video content and you can get that from your 39 ft diesel pusher, 32 ft gas RV with 3 slides, your 28 ft travel trailer, your 18 ft popup, or even your 3 person tent. Just bring a PC or MAC and you can enjoy streaming video anytime.  Of course leave some time to enjoy the jumping pillow, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and campfires.

 See you this summer.
