Deadwood

Well, we left Wall, SD and I really wanted to see Deadwood. Mostly because when I left Cincinnati I had a regular patron of the library who loved the HBO series and I thought it would be neat to take a picture of the sign going into the town. Well, my mom and I discussed it and decided that we might as well go in. It would be about an hour or so out of the way but we would be able to drive through part of the Black Hills National Forest. It was beautiful. We saw more snow, an eagle and we thought Deadwood was a cute little town. Rich with history of the gold rush, I would love to return when I have more time. The town was nestled in a valley between two large cliffs and had a combination of old buildings and new buildings made to look old. It was a great side trip. Well, once back on the road we headed to Wyoming...then Montana. It was amazing to see the changes in the lay of the land and the different animals. We saw more antelope, deer ( much larger than our OH kinds), horses, birds, and an elk. We also saw a lot more trains and working train tracks. The trains were hauling people, livestock, grains, and coal. The mountains were beautiful and the sunset was breathtaking!! We arrived in Bozeman, MT tired but happy about what we had decided to do for that day. We plan to get up leisurely Saturday.
