Taking a trip to the Black Hills? Don’t forget to stop at Needle’s Eye State Park, today known as ‘The Needles.”

Recently, I discovered this post card at a recent estate sale I conducted.
Even though, I have been to Mount Rushmore, I didn’t take the time to stop at the ‘Needles.’
Sorry I didn’t because when I discovered the card, I thought to myself how unique this rock formation is and was long ago.

Next time you come across old post cards on vacation destinations; check to see if the attraction still exists. Even if it doesn’t, stop at the location and visualize what it would have  been like to visit there long ago. Imagine all the travelers that had planned their vacation around that particular spot…decades ago.

First photo is from a 1940’s post card , second was taken in the year 2015.
