Leaving North Dakota behind after a wonderful visit with Cindy's parents we hit the road and head for Deadwood South Dakota.
Deadwood sure has changed since Cindy last visited after High School Graduation! Gaming is everywhere and it is so commercial. Tho' we did enjoy dinner and a musical show dedicated to "Wild Bill" and Calamity Jane.
First thing the following morning it was up to Mt. Moriah to the grave sites of "Wild Bill" and Calamity Jane. We spend a good hour and a half wandering around the cemetery and locating all the famous and infamous buried there. The morning was cool and we had a small rain shower just as we were ready to leave.
The next site was the Adam's House. A lovely Victorian that was at the social epicenter of old Deadwood. Unfortunately they did not allow photos inside the house.
Ace's and Eight's or the Deadman's Hand. Just a sample of the the offerings and "Wild Bill's" grave.
Heading west to Wyoming we stopped at Devil's Tower. We hiked the base and enjoyed the mountains and the cool air. We watched the climers on the Tower and marveled at their climb.Now we are in Denver for a couple of days visiting Cindy's brother, Joe and his partner, Alejandro. They live in a beautiful home that was built in 1900!

Thanks, Cindy, now I never have to go to South Dakota. You've pretty much covered the region and have saved me a lot of gas money. Very interesting stuff...didn't know that Wild Bill and Calamity Jane were buried in the same cemetery. Should be a Jeopardy answer. When do you return to Dragonheart? Thanks for inspiring me to keep on bloggin'. Love, Dave
