Yesterday was a fantastic adventure, for team Rybo! Ryan and I put the top down on his mustang and drove all around Custer State Park, in the sunny 79 degree weather. It was a breezy and warm drive.
I can honestly say that I have never in my life smelled air that fresh! I felt like I was breathing the purest air next to the lumber section at Lowe's. There is nothing like the scent of fresh cut pine. Song birds were singing their praise, as we drove 4 hours all around the park.
We met some very friendly people passing on motorcycles and even struck up some small talk as we were driving! I love how friendly people are here!
Here is a pic of the route we took. We took 79 to 36 and drove the area in red:

We were wanting to drive around Needles Highway but it is closed until April.
(Thank goodness April starts next week!)
We are loving this area SO much! There is so much to do outdoors and all within a 40 minute drive from our apartment.
If for some awesome reason Ryan and I win the lotto, we will be flying our friends and family up here. EVERYONE needs to experience this place. I don't even think the photos do this place justice.
We are so ridiculously blessed to be able to work up here.
Until next time!!!
