We woke up and went gold panning. I didn’t find any gold but I did find some quartz.\u00a0 I got lots muddy and had a blast washing the rocks in the ice cold river water.<\/p>\n

Next, we\u00a0 caught water insects for the junior naturalist\u00a0 program.\u00a0 The Junior Naturalist Program is great and most all state and national parks have some kind of program like this.\u00a0 We learned all about bugs and were given nets to use to catch the bugs.\u00a0 We put the bugs in jars and had the chance to really look at them closely.<\/p>\n

Then, we went to Sylvan Lake up on top of the Black Hills.\u00a0 We drove down Needles Highway.\u00a0 It was a beautiful drive.\u00a0 Lots of interesting rock formations to look at on the way.\u00a0 The lake was really cool.\u00a0 Part of National Treasure 2 was filmed at Sylvan Lake so it was cool to see the lake up close as we like to watch that movie from time to time.<\/p>\n

After Sylvan Lake, we drove over past Custer to see Jewel Cave.\u00a0 We completed the junior ranger program at jewel cave and received our Junior Ranger badges.\u00a0 We drove to Wyoming after we were done just to say we did.<\/p>\n

We drove back to Custer to eat dinner at the purple pie place that was, you guessed it, purple.\u00a0 This place has awesome food, pie, and ice cream. If you are ever in Custer, the Purple Pie Place is the place to eat!<\/p>\n

We had a great meal after a long day of hiking and learning. Whewwwww!\u00a0 What a long and amazing day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
