Location: US-16A at the Custer State Park entrance, Custer Cty
As we enter Custer State Park, we’re told to pull into a pay station. Pardon the blurriness, but the sign says “Non-stop traffic on [US 16A] exempt”- so if you drive through it’s free, although it’s hard not to stop when all the tourists stop every time they see a buffalo. Such is the fun of Great Plains/Rocky Mountain state/national parks.
