Back to Deadwood via the scenic route

---

We decided to go back to Deadwood, SD and check out the town. We were told to take the scenic route so that is what we did.. Amazing waterfalls and huge blocks of granite were seen along the way. The town of Deadwood is an old mining town that has been through it all. The town was totally destroyed by fire then in the early 1900's there was a big flood. We saw a shoot out in the middle of the street where a guy got shot in his forehead. The drama of it all.

Wild Bill Hickok was killed in Deadwood and is buried there. Calamity Jane also lived in Deadwood and you know story about their hot romance. She is buried right next to him. The cemetery is at the top of the town to protect the burial plots from any future flooding. Interesting walk up to see Wild Bill and Calamity Jane's final resting places.

We topped off the day at the casino. We went back to the same place we went the first time since I won $75 that time. This time I walked away with $60. Our next stop is Minneapolis, MN so I'm treating Joe to a Minnesota Twins game. They are playing the Yankees so it should be a fun game.

Enjoy the pics...
