The Adventure Continues....Day 3

We caught up on some sleep this morning, sleeping in and lolly gagging around until after 10 a.m. But then we were on the road, ready for adventure!
Our first stop of the day was Mt. Moriah Cemetery in Deadwood, burial place of several famous people... two being Wild Bill Hickok, (James Butler Hickok) and Calamity Jane (Martha Jane Burke).

Then we headed down to Main St. to the Saloon #10, the place that Wild Bill was gunned down. The bar was pretty cool, it had sawdust on the floor... the reason being, because drinks and food were paid for with gold...gold dust often, and it would fall on the floor at times, so putting saw dust down was beneficial for the saloon owners because the gold dust would be hard to detect when dropped. At the end of the day, when the owner swept up, they would separate the gold from the sawdust and have a tidy profit in gold dust for themselves.

While we were there for a drink, Wild Bill, himself showed up and invited us to his show. It was fun, interesting and informative, as Wild Bill told us about his life and that fateful day back in 1876 when he was gunned down at that very spot.

Go EAST young woman (and old woman), Go EAST! So we headed out from Deadwood, to the Badlands. At a stop just before entering the national park, we were attacked by an irate chicken who tried to peck my car! (Actually the chicken was trying to eat all the dead bugs on the license plate *lol*) And we photographed a giant rodent...well, not sure if a prairie dog is part rodent or not? They sure grow animals giant size around SD. *L*

The Badlands National Park is WONDERFUL!! Beautiful and awesome sites! But there are things to beware of as well.










Kasey getting badass in the badlands..*G* She thought it would be fun to have a photo of a breakdance move with the background scenery.









It was another great day of seeing really fun and cool things...with some fun and cool company...my daughter, Kasey!
We have had a lot of fun together... and enjoy each other's company... here we are enjoying a pretzel stoogie as we head on down the road to a motel for the night. We made it to Murdo, SD, so we have quite a way to go tomorrow yet before we get home.... Thank you Lord for the fun times, and safe travels so far, we ask for continued good and safe times as we head home tomorrow..in Jesus Name. Amen.

More to come....
