Nice! 4 nights in Custer State Park, any pictures? I love that area.

I still need to process most of my images from this trip, unfortunately school is in the way with a tremendous work load.
I hope to do a quick write up with some images at one point at the end of the semester.
Custer State Park was amazing, and the storms moving through the area were the best I had in a long time. :)
