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 room was awesome! Staff was top notch. One star deducted because we just didnt like our bed. It was a memory foam but was way to stiff for our liking.
