DEADWOOD

Our major jaunt today was to head to Lead and Deadwood. We walked the old brick street of this former gold town (they still sell Black Hills gold) visiting souvenier shops and casinos (there are slot machines in every restaurant and gift shop). I did manage to lose two nickels in a slot machine.

At first look, I thought that this was going to be a great event. But, we didn't go into this place, especially since I was the designated driver. It did look good!

Buffalo Bill Cody (Wild Bill) is an integral part of this Deadwood community.

All during our time here in Wyoming/South Dakota we saw Harleys, one after another. Lots of women bikers and many bikes sitting at bars.

I can imagine that this was an image of "what used to be" in Deadwood. During Gold Rush days, it no doubt was quite a wild and woolly community.
