Well, I almost didn't even bother posting a blog for yesterday, just because it was a rest and recoup from vacation day. We arrived early in the town of Deadwood, South Dakota. Talk about Wild Wild West. We found a small cabin for the night that had a loft for Alex. We walked the town and had some lunch. We went back to the cabin, played some cribbage, watched some tv, then went to a go cart track where Alex raced the other tourists, then we plays putt putt. I lost $4 in the casino while Alex played in the arcade.
I have minimalized our visit, but it was actually historically significant. We saw the spot where Wild Bill Hickock was shot in the back. Also, calamity Jane was buried up the hill.
I did some laundry, we watched a snow board movie, and that was about it.

The picture of the old town has a store called ole timely photos and that is where Aunt Patti and I got our picture taken when we were there. How funny that you should take a picture of that particular spot? We also went to the Casino and
lost! I miss you. Have fun.

This town was the inspiration for my most favorite HBO series called "Deadwood". Unfortunately, I only got to drive thru it when we were out there.
