Also, try Armadillo's Ice Cream in Rapid City.
Thank you, yes, I will try to get back to Rapid City - the parks around the region are fantastic - I'd love to drive the Peter Norbeck road myself, rather than the tour bus - those pig-tail bridges were great fun!

Went out to Crazy Horse, interesting you can climb up it.

The Firehouse Brewery in RC was great. Loved the beer, and I got proof of age checked. I was well chuffed at that!
