We attempted to find the hot springs in Hot Springs. Unfortunately, the locals were wrong and neither the river, nor Cascade Falls provided warm, healing waters.
Next up: a drive through the Black Hills.
Deadwood, which didn't look anything like it does in the HBO series. We spent a little bit of time in the casinos and I was the only successful gambler today: $6.95 from the nickel slots. Score! Lunch at the Deadwood Social Club was by far the best meal and service we have had so far. We've grown tired of the sad Midwestern fair and ice berg lettuce salad bars. (what I'd give for some NYC pizza...)
Sturgis is the site of the annual motorcycle rally, but what we saw today is a far cry from the insanity that will ensue in early August.
And so we leave South Dakota behind and move further westward to Wyoming, Cowboy Country. Yee-haw!
STATS:
Miles covered: 268
Number of successful badminton volleys in the motel parking lot: 35 (approx)
Number of t-shirts purchased in Sturgis: 11
Money lost gambling in Deadwood: $98.02
