Two Showers In One Day - Custer, South Dakota

Since the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally is over, we decided to venture out and do some geocaching. We chose a cache that is along the Mickelson Bike Trail. It turned out to be a longer hike than we first thought...3.5 miles. We had some difficulty locating the cache, but eventually found it among some high grass. The location was the site of a Custer 1874 expedition encampment.

We stopped in town for some lunch. While eating lunch it started to rain. Oh #%#@*$, we are in the Jeep without the top. We finished lunch and decided to head for the campground before it got any worse. Too late, on the wet drive home it started pouring. We got back to the campground, threw the cover over the Jeep, and ran into the rig.
