Today we tried to see the Crazy Horse Monument, but it was too foggy so we will try that again another day.
In the afternoon we decided to take a train ride on a restored steam train. We rode upon engine #7. It was built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1919. It was sold to and operated by the Caddo and Choctaw Railroad years later. The "seven" was sold to the Prescott and Northwestern in Northern Arkansas in 1938, and was acquired by the Black Hill Central Railroad in 1962.
We traveled through the Black Hills through several mining areas and viewed some unbelievable private homes. One home took 12 years to build. The train took us from Hill City to Keystone and back again the whole trip took 2 1/2 hours; it was a great last minute decision trip.
