Mount Rushmore and Oreville Campground --- Joyful Camping
What a fun time at MOUNT RUSHMORE!!! It was so exciting to visit this national monument. We made a long weekend of the visit and did activities in the area as well. If you have a chance to visit the monument I highly recommend taking the trip.
We stayed at Oreville Campground which was a nice (very short) drive to the monument and the campground itself was very peaceful. Although right by the main road we really didn't notice the road noise.

Custer State Park is a state park and wildlife reserve in the Black Hills of southwestern South Dakota, USA. The park is South Dakota's largest and first state park, named after Lt. Colonel George Armstrong Custer. The area originally started out as sixteen sections, but was later changed into one block of land because of the challenges of the terrain. The park began to grow rapidly in the 1920s and gained new land. During the 1930s the Civilian Conservation Corps built miles of roads, laid out parks and campgrounds, and built three dams that set up a future of water recreation at the park. In 1964 an additional 22,900 acres (93 km2) were added to the park. The park covers an area of over 71,000 acres (287 km2) of hilly terrain and is home to many wild animals.

Spearfish Canyon is a deep but narrow gorge carved by Spearfish Creek just south of Spearfish, South Dakota in the U.S. It is located on the northern edge of Black Hills National Forest. Many tourists drive through the canyon, drawn to the region due to its wide range of plant and wildlife, geology, rock formations, and waterfalls. Spearfish Creek holds populations of rainbow and brown trout and is dammed in several spots, affording fishing opportunities. Stocking of trout in Spearfish Creek was discontinued in the 1970s and all trout in the creek today are wild. In addition, remnants of Spearfish Canyon's active mining history are still easily found in some locations. Ready to explore the world? Find the best rates in for your booking needs

Things To Do At Sturgis Motorcycle Rally 2018
Hey you guys! Thanks for joining me on another adventure. I am still in/near Sturgis, South Dakota this week. There are so many things to do in this area. We rode the motorcycle around Custer State Park, which is quite lovely. On the Wildlife Loop in the park, we watched some buffalo butt heads and some baby buffalo play. It definitely got our hearts racing to have so many buffalo that close by when we were just on the motorcycle! We got a camping cabin for only $45 a night at Custer Crazy Horse Campground in Custer, South Dakota. It's a really nice campground not too close to (and not too far from) the chaos of Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Haha. The campground referred us to Baker's Bakery & Cafe for breakfast, and we could see why! It was absolutely delectable! I got the smothered breakfast burrito, which had been featured in a Rachael Ray magazine--I can totally see why. April got the caramel sticky roll, which was just about perfection--not even too sweet. (We had breakfast there twice; it was that fantastic.) We went to Jewel Cave National Monument, which we discovered is the third largest cave in the world right now. It was an awesome experience to journey through the cave! Our ranger was full of interesting facts, and spunk. ;-) We actually had to go the second morning, because the afternoon we first went, they had sold out of tickets for the cave tours. Keep that in mind if you are wanting to go. We rode the bike to Keystone, South Dakota (another beautiful drive) and walked its old western-ish streets, taking in the sights and sounds and smells. One cool place we stumbled upon was Dahl's Chainsaw Art; his work is incredible! It was a fairly hot (and more humid than SLC) day, so we headed to the Hippie Hole. We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into, so it was quite the journey! While a very pretty drive, we had to do several miles on dirt roads with ruts & rocks. Then we didn't realize the hike to Hippie Hole was such a sheer descent, hopping boulders and dodging poison oak and crossing side sections of the river. We haven't sweated that much since our days living in Florida! April was especially challenged, as she deals with vertigo when it comes to heights. She said it was the hardest hike she has ever done. Once we finally it to the Hole, we took in the amazing scenery and chatted with others there. I made my way over to the jumping spot while April stayed behind to film. After watching some of the young guys take the plunge, and one girl slip off the waterfall (scary!), I went for it and JUMPED!! Holy cow, that was such a rush! Climbing the rope back up proved to be a bit challenging, but I managed. As clouds started to roll in, we figured we better high-tail it out of there. I was impressed with how swiftly April scurried up the mountainside. We dashed out of there as fast as we could on a dirt road on my Yahama adventure bike--I mean Cruiser. Haha. We stopped at Mount Rushmore on the way back to the campground because it looked like the heavens were about to open up and pour buckets. We enjoyed our visit there, and it never did rain. (Do note that you can't use your National Parks Pass at Mount Rushmore; it's free, but you have to pay for parking.) What an absolutely amazing time we had taking advantage of the things to do near Sturgis, South Dakota!!

Dakota Pathways: Rails and other Roads
Dakota Pathways: A History was a 20-part series used by Educator's across South Dakota for use in their classrooms. The 14 minute long segments explore some of the history of South Dakota. Rails and other Roads is the first produced in the series.
Transportation
People move. They move to improve their lives. To move, they use whatever means of transportation available. More than 25,000 years ago, prehistoric animals, like the mastodon, and the people who hunted them crossed the land bridge from Asia to Alaska and south into the rest of North America, and even farther to South America. On pre-historic plains, later called South Dakota, ancestors of present-day Native Americans walked to get where they wanted to go.
To find better places to live and hunt, Native Americans had only one transportation option—their feet—until the middle of the 17th century. At that time, Spanish military explorers and missionaries brought with them an animal that would dramatically change life in the Americas. From Spanish missions, Native Americans acquired horses. On horseback, Native Americans could move more quickly and more easily. They could hunt buffaloes across broader ranges, killing more selectively. They could find better places to live, and better ways to fight.
For hundreds of years the horse was the best land transportation technology there was. In 1858, the first non-stop stagecoach trip, from St. Louis to Los Angeles, almost 2600 miles, took 20 days. Two years later, the Pony Express covered 1966 miles, galloping from St. Louis to Sacramento, in 11 days. Horses pulled plows, buggies, barges—everything a human could not. Without this literal horsepower, transportation would have been nearly impossible.
Eventually, though, horses were replaced. From 1862 to 1883, railroad companies built the infrastructure for train travel; soon, train tracks and trains crisscrossed North America, bringing thousands of emigrants to once-remote land. It took 19 years for the Northern Pacific Railroad to complete its system. The expansion of rail transportation coincided with the decline of the buffalo: from an estimated 60 million at the beginning of the century, the gigantic herds had been reduced to 2000 animals.
Like horses, trains were replaced by another transportation innovation: the car. As automobiles improved (and became more affordable), so did roads and highways. The U.S. Highway System led to the Eisenhower Interstate System, further opening up the country. People could move around South Dakota and the nation like never before. As cars and the roads spread, one more innovation soon started to have an impact on how people move.
In the 1930s commercial air service reached most corners of the United States, including South Dakota. Airline passenger traffic volume, the number of miles people travel by plane, increased by 1700 % from 1954 to 2001. More than ever, people are moving. Whether the transportation is planes, trains or automobiles, horses or on foot, it is a vital aspect of daily life.

SUMMARY
=======
Phoenix () is the capital and most populous city of the U.S. state of Arizona. With 1,626,078 people (as of 2017), Phoenix is the fifth most populous city nationwide, the most populous state capital in the United States, and the only state capital with a population of more than one million residents.Phoenix is the anchor of the Phoenix metropolitan area, also known as the Valley of the Sun, which in turn is a part of the Salt River Valley. The metropolitan area is the 12th largest by population in the United States, with approximately 4.73 million people as of 2017. In addition, Phoenix is the seat of Maricopa County, and at 517.9 square miles (1,341 km2), it is the largest city in the state, more than twice the size of Tucson and one of the largest cities in the United States.Settled in 1867 as an agricultural community near the confluence of the Salt and Gila Rivers, Phoenix incorporated as a city in 1881. It became the capital of Arizona Territory in 1889. Located in the northeastern reaches of the Sonoran Desert, Phoenix has a hot desert climate. Despite this, its canal system led to a thriving farming community with many of the original crops, such as alfalfa, cotton, citrus, and hay, remaining important parts of the Phoenix economy for decades. Cotton, cattle, citrus, climate, and copper were known locally as the Five C's of Phoenix's economy. These industries remained the driving forces of the city until after World War II, when high-tech companies began to move into the valley and air conditioning made Phoenix's hot summers more bearable.The city averaged a four percent annual population growth rate over a 40-year period from the mid-1960s to the mid-2000s. This growth rate slowed during the Great Recession of 2007–09, and has rebounded slowly. Phoenix is the cultural center of the Valley of the Sun, as well as the entire state.

SUMMARY
=======
The United States of America (USA), commonly known as the United States (U.S. or US) or America, is a country composed of 50 states, a federal district, five major self-governing territories, and various possessions. At 3.8 million square miles (9.8 million km2), the United States is the world's third- or fourth-largest country by total area and slightly smaller than the entire continent of Europe's 3.9 million square miles (10.1 million km2). With a population of over 325 million people, the U.S. is the third most populous country. The capital is Washington, D.C., and the largest city by population is New York City. Forty-eight states and the capital's federal district are contiguous in North America between Canada and Mexico. The State of Alaska is in the northwest corner of North America, bordered by Canada to the east and across the Bering Strait from Russia to the west. The State of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific Ocean. The U.S. territories are scattered about the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, stretching across nine official time zones. The extremely diverse geography, climate, and wildlife of the United States make it one of the world's 17 megadiverse countries.Paleo-Indians migrated from Siberia to the North American mainland at least 15,000 years ago. European colonization began in the 16th century. The United States emerged from the thirteen British colonies established along the East Coast. Numerous disputes between Great Britain and the colonies following the French and Indian War led to the American Revolution, which began in 1775, and the subsequent Declaration of Independence in 1776. The war ended in 1783 with the United States becoming the first country to gain independence from a European power. The current constitution was adopted in 1788, with the first ten amendments, collectively named the Bill of Rights, being ratified in 1791 to guarantee many fundamental civil liberties. The United States embarked on a vigorous expansion across North America throughout the 19th century, acquiring new territories, displacing Native American tribes, and gradually admitting new states until it spanned the continent by 1848. During the second half of the 19th century, the Civil War led to the abolition of slavery. By the end of the century, the United States had extended into the Pacific Ocean, and its economy, driven in large part by the Industrial Revolution, began to soar. The Spanish–American War and World War I confirmed the country's status as a global military power. The United States emer ...

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Kentucky ( (listen) kən-TUK-ee), officially the Commonwealth of Kentucky, is a state located in the east south-central region of the United States. Although styled as the State of Kentucky in the law creating it, Kentucky is one of four U.S. states constituted as a commonwealth (the others being Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts). Originally a part of Virginia, in 1792 Kentucky became the 15th state to join the Union. Kentucky is the 37th most extensive and the 26th most populous of the 50 United States.
Kentucky is known as the Bluegrass State, a nickname based on the bluegrass found in many of its pastures due to the fertile soil. One of the major regions in Kentucky is the Bluegrass Region in central Kentucky, which houses two of its major cities, Louisville and Lexington. It is a land with diverse environments and abundant resources, including the world's longest cave system, Mammoth Cave National Park, the greatest length of navigable waterways and streams in the contiguous United States, and the two largest man-made lakes east of the Mississippi River.
Kentucky is also known for horse racing, bourbon distilleries, moonshine, coal, the My Old Kentucky Home historic national park, automobile manufacturing, tobacco, bluegrass music, college basketball, and Kentucky Fried Chicken.
