We drove up to Deadwood and Lead, SD but didn’t find what I
had expected to see, an old west town.
Instead Deadwood is now all about gambling and bars. Oh well, can’t win them all. We did visit the Adams Museum and learned the
history of the area including about Wild Bill Hickock and Calamity Jane but
were soon on our way. Leaving there we
stopped in Cheyenne Crossing, a hole-in-the-wall crossroads for Indian Tacos at
the café as recommended by the camp ground hosts back in Custer SP. The food was great! On up Spearfish Canyon for waterfall
sightings
And then we journeyed west to Devils Tower in Wyoming. When they say it holds your attention, they
aren’t kidding. I could barely take my
eyes off of it. Definitely worth the trip.
We spent the night at the NPS campground in the park and met
three bicyclists who are making the trip from Portland, Oregon to New York
City. Shared some of our beers with them
(gratefully received!) and heard a few of their stories. The evening program in the ampitheater was on
rock climbing the Tower and added to the knowledge we started to acquire
yesterday.
