My family loves this park. Too many people drive by it. On their way to the Black Hills and Mount Rushmore and Crazyhorse and all of those other places. It’s a little ways. Short of that along the interstate but it is well worth a stop. We used to always drive by it. I’ve lived in this state, my entire life and it only been there once. But my family stopped when my kids were little and it has been a spot to stop every time we’ve gone to the Black Hills. Our best story is my son, loves snakes, and still has a corn snake in his room, but we were walking along a path and looked up at head high and there was a rattlesnake in the rocks. We thought it was cool. Am I hung around and watched it for a while and then we continued along the path and wouldn’t climb. There’s some ladders they have to go uphill, and things like that. And then, when we came back, the rattlesnake was gone. We did have a slight moment of semi panic, wondering where it had gone to. But if you live in an area with rattlesnakes, you understand getting bit by them is usually because somebody is screwing with them. It’s very uncommon to get bit by a rattlesnake and less you were doing something Stupid.

I work in an ICU that is one of the biggest ICUs in the state and we are a very rural state so we get patients from a wide geographical area. My favorite store is this gentleman was trying to kill a rattlesnake and he got bit and ended up in RAC you getting CroFab. Which is the anti-venom. He did well and got out and then about a couple of months later, we have the same gentleman in with a rattlesnake bite again. Apparently he was driving and saw one in the ditch and was so mad about getting bit the previous time he got out and tried to kill it was a hoe. And subsequently got bit again. All he could do a shock a little bit. He knew it was stupid and I doubt he challenged too many rattlesnakes after that.
