The Needles at Custer State Park, South Dakota
We found this little ghost town by mistake. 
 I thought it was gone forever, but it is still there! Bedrock City was a favorite place to visit when I was a little girl.  Now it is closed, but still pretty cool.  I wish they still served brontosaurus burgers!  Get there before they tear it down!

The house was so welcoming and very clean. We loved the hot tub and the kids enjoyed the loft. Lots of thoughtful touches that made for a comfortable stay. We would stay again if we are in the area!
