Track & Begging

Photography Now & Then #114

I visit the gym several times a week when we are home and get in a lot of walking.

One time around on the running / walking track above the basketball is 1/20 of a mile in the inside track.  The corners of the track are banked for runners.  Behind the dark windows at the far end is a 2,000 ft2 aerobic studio. A 2,400 ft2 free weight area is behind the door on the other side of the large exercise balls on the basketball court. A large area to the right of the track and aerobic studio has a large number of cardio and resistance exercise machines.

One of the most popular attractions in Custer State Park in South Dakota, the begging burros are actually feral donkeys descended from animals once used in the park for visitor treks from Sylvan Lake to to the summit of Harney Peak, the highest point in South Dakota.  Brought into the park in 1927, the burro rides lasted for several years.  After the rides were stopped, the burros were simply  released in the park.
