After Wind Cave we headed south to Fort Robinson, all of the buildings were closed but we still enjoyed walking around and reading the history of the place.
We had learned while at the Crazy Horse Monument that this is where he was killed.
This place has a lot of sad history including being a POW camp during WW2.
That being said it was a beautiful place to camp for the night and the wildlife loop was pretty.
The horses (I think they belong to the fort) surrounded our vehicle and even stuck their noses in!
There were actually a lot of trails and I would not mind going back to this area to check out more of it.
The next day we continued our journey south and stopped at Lake McConaughy.
As we got closer I realized there were a lot of campgrounds around the lake and I started panicking on picking the right one.
I ended up choosing the one where all the sand burs go to party.
Do not walk on the grass was our mantra the whole time.
Our poor dog made that mistake several times.
I was pretty sure this was the fail of the trip, it happens. They can’t all be winners.
It was windy and the sand would get in your eyes, the vault toilet was not super clean, sand burs were everywhere and on everything, and it cost more than most of our stops.
It was pretty though.
And than we went to Kansas…
