Our camping spot for the night. Tilted too far toward the passenger side makes for poor shower drainage but otherwise awesome.
We spent the night in the strictly dry-camping Wind Cave National Park campground. It was beautiful and quiet. By the way, we figured out that one night pretty much depletes our batteries – our new tri-metric meter tells it accurately. At 7:00 a.m. we just drove about 1/2 mile down to the parking area in front of the HQ building and had some breakfast while we waited for it to open at 8:00 a.m. so we could buy our tickets for the first (9:30 a.m.) tour and be on our way.
Our tour guide was Ranger Rick (really) and he was pretty entertaining. The cave and the whole experience was a little tough though – very narrow and tight the whole way compared to many other cave tours we have done. After the tour we drove to the rally with stops at WalMart and a do-it-yourself car wash for both vehicles. Dinner at the rally – one of only two provided – was a whole roasted pig which didn’t quite make it for all 200+ people – oops. Below are some photos from the cave tour and the dinner.
