7/7/08 Nifty Needles and Bold Burros!

Today we rented a car and drove on the scenic highway that couldn’t be built. Supposedly it was an engineering impossibility. But with some major ingenuity and 150,000 pounds of dynamite, it was built in 1921. We drove through – literally - the stunning spires of the Black Hills, driving past and through the beautiful rock formations, through forests and meadows, and enjoying the spectacular scenery of the Black Hills along with some of God’s creatures great and small. Once again I can’t help but marvel at God’s creation and stand in awe of its Creator.

For the most laughs today, we experienced wild burros gone crazy with tourism. They, like Bison, take their sweet, old time walking IN the roads (as opposed to across the roads). We feel pretty sure they are so smart that they won’t get out of your way until they get some compensation in the form of food. They are over-the-top comfortable with humans – so much so they will stick their head in your car. We were all laughing hysterically.
