I've gotten into approximately a six-month cycle for checking my trailcam in Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota. It was time for a checkup this month but I was concerned that the government shutdown might prevent me from getting to the location. But the gates were open and I found lots of images of elk and other critters. Click on images to start slide show.
