If its summertime and I’m going on vacation there is only one place I want to go.  The Black Hills of SD.  Three years ago we went to the Black Hills /Rapid City to visit family, it was our first trip out west, I really did not think I was going to like it out there.  But the fact is  I fell in love with its beauty.  We went out again the next year.  I have been there twice and would go again in a heartbeat.  I think it is a trip you have to take at least once in your lifetime.
