We got up early today and headed to the Wildlife Loop. It was a very beautiful ride and we did see some wildlife.

| The beautiful Black Hills |
 |
| Love the hills sprinkled with trees! |
 |
| Buffalo! |
 |
| Pronghorn |
 |
| Burro! |
After the wildlife loop we drove to Mt Coolidge Firetower. The 1.7 mile dirt road to the tower is a little gut wrenching at times but we managed!
 |
| Piece of the dirt road from tower area. Little steep off those sides! |

| One view from tower - very hazy |
We also got a picture of State Game Lodge. This was also built by CCC and was President Coolidge's Summer White House.

We headed to Sylvan Lake for a 1 mile trek around Sylvan Lake. I like to get the dogs on little hikes as frequently as possible but the hikes must be easy for the ole gal Lila. It was around 6PM and there were a lot of people at the lake but both the dogs (esp Flash) were well behaved!

| Another tunnel! |
