Thanks for the break in the day - I can't tell who's having more fun, you or your adorable dogs. Unfortunately, my wife and I are both terribly allergic to them, so no pups for us.

Yah...didn't get the chance to camp out there, but you can pretty much camp wherever (and drive, with 4-wheel drive) anywhere as well. No one else was out there, and it was amazing. It was hot as hell in August, but if you're anywhere near there, check it out. This blog was very helpful in finding info about the grassland as the forest sevice neglects it, and it's not a major tourist attraction by any means: http://www.trailsandgrasslands.org/pierre.html
