Custer County SAR Ride set for Aug. 31
The next time you’re lost and alone or injured in the backcountry, the people who come save you will be Custer County Search & Rescue volunteers.
Now, they need your help. The first Annual Friends of Custer County Search & Rescue Trail & Poker Ride begins Aug. 31, in Custer State Park. “Bring your horse, mule, friends and family and come out to support the mission of Custer County Search & Rescue,” said Lesa McDermott, speaking for the group.
The Ride begins near the Custer State Park Airport and will be a scenic loop of about 8 miles around the lower entrance to the French Creek Natural Area.
Starting times are staggered between 8 a.m. and noon. A BBQ lunch will be available for riders and non-riders. Games, a silent auction and a variety of SAR equipment and vehicles will be on hand.
The fee is $15 to register for the ride before Aug. 26, and $20 for registrations thereafter. Registrations forms and more information can be found at http://www.custersdsar.com under the “friends” tab or by calling Rick March at 605-431-4097.

There was another round of snow in the area, but not as much as last week’s. I probably got 2-3 inches here. It’s sloppy wet and soaking in. Every drop is welcome.
