Well, after waiting for three days, we finally went fishing and boy was it fun.\u00a0 We caught rainbow trout in a stream just a bit down the road and across from the Coolidge General Store.\u00a0 We used homemade stick fishing poles and shrimp flavored marshmallow bait.<\/p>\n

By the way, the Coolidge camp ground is very nice, but quite close to the road especially if you have little kids that like to run out in the street.\u00a0 It has a beautiful stream that runs through the camp and lots of fishing spots.<\/p>\n

After our big fishing trip, we stopped by the Peter Norbeck visitor center to show our work to earn our Junior Naturalist status.\u00a0 We were awarded our Junior Naturalist badges and certificates in a small ceremony.\u00a0 We were very proud of our work and all that we learned in the process.<\/p>\n

The Peter Norbeck center is where you should stop first when visiting Custer State Park.\u00a0 You can get a schedule of the programs and make sure you do not miss anything.\u00a0 The programs at Custer State Park are really nice if you have kids that are cub scouts \/ girl scouts.<\/p>\n

Donkeys, donkeys, and more donkeys – if you visit Custer State Park, take the 18 mile wildlife loop and take corn or carrots to feed the donkeys.\u00a0 We saw tons of Buffalo, Prong-horns, and Deer.\u00a0 Animals are everywhere on the loop – they come right up to the car as you can see from the pics below.<\/p>\n

After our amazing ride through the wildlife, we stopped off at Badger hole to see the home of Badger Clark.\u00a0 What a cool house and way of life.\u00a0 The Badger Hole hike is only one mile, but it is very steep and quite a workout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
