Jon and I drove over to the Mount Rushmore area and we noticed it was beginning to snow. It was raining when we left Rapid City, but then we heard on the radio that anything above 5,000 ft. was getting snow. We ended up camping at a National Forest campsite somewhere southeast of Hill City, near Harney Peak. We set up our tent in the snow and begin to look for firewood. After a failed attempt to find wood at a KOA nearby, we finally found some on the underside of a fallen tree. Anything that had been exposed was wet except the underside of a log I found. I made several trips for wood while Jon got the fire started. The fire kept us warm for a while until we decided to go to bed. The snow tapered off during the night. It had been the type of snow that was somewhat wet and sticky because it was only 32 degrees out.
