The staff along with their families stayed at Custer State Park to celebrate reaching the goal of 40,000 magazine subscribers. -

Several antique train cars have been restored. -
The train leaves from Hill City and winds through the forested hills to Keystone and back again. -
Rose and Rain Lane (daughters of our circulation director Jana Lane and her husband Jim) enjoyed the train ride. -
On October 31, the 1880 Train will become the Fright Train. This ride will focus on scary entertainment inside the train rather than the landscape out the windows. -
Rain likes the breeze coming through the window as the train plugs away toward Keystone. -
Later that night the staff and their families joined for dinner at the Custer State Park Game Lodge. From left: Bernie Hunhoff, Katie Hunhoff, Paul Higbee, Heidi Marsh, Jana Lane, Ruth Steil, Barb Hanson, Andrea Maibaum, Alma Korslund and John Andrews.
