Historical Blackhills

Pretty mellow day today as we drove up to Deadwood for a little wild,wild west history. It would be a blast to spend one day there in the 1880's when the men were rough and tumble and the women even tougher! Of course, we had a lot of Wild Bill and Calamity Jane stories. We even went to Mount Moriah Cemetary to see thier graves, though the rest of the cemetary was more interesting as a whole.



We had lunch at a restaurant HIGHLY recommended by a local shop owner...it was AWFUL. But our waitress/owner directed us to a winery that she said was the GREATEST. It was NOT! In fact, for the first time in my life I actually wanted to spit out the wine we tasted!

From Deadwood we took a short but extremely scenic side trip to Sturgis. Just to see. We saw...and left.

Another 60 miles brought us back to beautiful Custer and the BP, where we are probably going to do a bit of cleaning, have a nice hot bowl of Chili (it was mid-70's during the afternoon but cooling down rapidly) and prepare for departure tommorrow. On to Lander,WY and my dear brother!
