Black Hills - South Dakota in an RV - The Good the Bad and the Ugly
In this episode we will take you on a journey through the Black Hills of South Dakota and show you the good - beautiful scenery, amazing new friends and memories for a lifetime. The bad - issues with our brand-new Grand Design fifth wheel travel trailer. The ugly - nothing ugly - it just made for a good title. Watch as we visit Spearfish Canyon, Mount Rushmore and the Needles Scenic Highway.\

Enjoy your videos and singing. Love SD, been there twice for only a few days each time a few years ago. Really like Custer Park, Badlands, Black Hills, Needle Hwy, the old western towns, and just the beauty of the whole state. Stay safe on the road!

Next visit to SD, visit Custer State park. The Buffalo Roundup is awesome. 1500 Bison being driven over the hills at one time is a terrific site to see. Crazy horse next to Mt. Rushmore is another terrific tourist monument in-the-works to see.

howdy, i live in Florida. I watch all the South Dakota/Black Hills videos i can. a lot of them are really good. and some are really bad. i really liked your video. you shot some really good film, spearfish canyon, that small town, Rochford, 25 people. yall seem so relaxed, happy, minus the slide problem, but the creeks, the beauty of the Black Hills is just incredible. i hope to retire out there one day, thank you for that. will be looking for more.

@@TheBorderHookups Yes West central Mn. Thanks for the welcome, wife and I have been very busy through recent years building a home in northern Mn. Sooooo Rving is very new to us now, but camping in our younger days was very common place. 45 yrs retired carpenter, it absolutely disgusts me the quality or better said lack there of, in the Rv industry. Maybe see you guys on the road someday, take care.
So far I have not found a walmart willing to let me stay in the parking lot. So this one is still allowing it? Or did you check? Maybe I should just stay and quit asking ahead of time. lol

Hi Jim. We always ask ahead of time. We recently stayed at one where when asked we were told by the person answering the phones that we can stay there and to just ignore the signs. Security thought otherwise. They were very nice about it when we told them about the call.
Hi guys, it was great to meet you as we were leaving Mr. Rushmore. Your video is superb, so enjoyable and positive. The Friday before, I preformed the wedding for my grandson, Rowdy and his new wife McKenzie at Sylvan Lake. It was a perfect night at one of the most beautiful places in the country. By the way, did you get to see the falls in Spearfish Canyon? If not, you might enjoy my videos of both the Spearfish and Roughlock Falls on my KZread channel, Dale Henry Brown.
