Another foggy, misty day in the Black Hills yesterday. We went to see George and the rest of the mountain men but no luck. Crazy horse was hiding too. We ended up at a mammoth dig site. It was a small sinkhole that is now totally enclosed in a building . Apparently, the sinkhole formed around a hot spring where grass would grow even in winter. So, the mammoths would go to forage and get a drink, slip in and not be able to get out. Interestingly, all of the elephants found have been males and most were teenagers! They have dug only a third of the way down and have already found 61 woolly or Colombian mammoths. Very interesting!

Today was promised to be sunny and warm so we got up early. It may be sunny ....but it's above the fog! We only have today and half of tomorrow left. If it doesn't lift soon we will miss Mt Rushmore and Crazy Horse. That would make me sad  :(
We did drive through the park which is beautiful, even in the fog, as long as you stay away from the overlooks!
