Deadwood, S.D.

Off we go for some more touring, the scenery is beautiful as always.

We visited Deadwood, I loved all the original old buildings.

It is where Wild Bill Hickok was shot.

The street still looks really old.  Unfortunately almost all of the buildings have a casino in it.  I don't know how such a small town can support so many casinos.  We talked to a police officer and she said that they let a few casinos in hoping to help revive the town, but they totally took over.

Look at the date on this one.

This is the cemetary where Wild Bill Hickok was burried.

He was shot during a poker game by Jack McCall

Calamity Jane was a good friend of his.  You should read this link, I learned alot about her.  She lost her mother young, then her father when she was 15, then took care of her 5 siblings.  Her journey as a child from Missouri to Montana is also very interesting.

Back on the very winding road with all the bikers.
