morning clean-up
our tiny campfire
Having pushed our luck driving through the Black Hills, and waiting too late to find a campground, we almost had to spend the night in a KOA. It looked like a smoky city packed in with buses, RVs, campers and giant wall-tents. In the center was a three-story building with floor-to-ceiling windows, through which we could see a giant chandelier. With prices to justify camping with a chandelier, we drove away prepared to sleep in the car. At the last moment before dark we found a small thickly wooded state campground with several vacancies left. We spent a beautiful dark night with a trickling stream just beyond our site.

Your descriptions are bringing all of it back so vividly! I remember the reason we almost ended up in KOA was that we squeezed in the Needles Highway as the sun was falling and were distracted several times by bison and big horn sheep grazing along the road. We gave up seeing Crazy Horse for Mount Everest but couldn't bring ourselves to pay the entrance fee just for a closer look with the crowds at the accosted landscape.
