Too Pooped To Pop

Yes, we had another wonderful day.  But, I'm too pooped to tell about it tonight.  I'll catch you up tomorrow.

Oh, okay, here's a teaser...



Now, Where Were We?

Oh yes, Wednesday.  Wednesday was another fine day Joyce got me into.  We headed up for Lead and Deadwood.  We went up Highway 385 to Lead then turned south on 85 down to Cheyenne Crossing.  From there we took the Spearfish Canyon highway.  A "purdier" sight not seen for some time...


The birch and aspen were turning colors right before our eyes.


Eventually, we wound up in Deadwood.  The town has really gone commercial since we were there in 1970.  We didn't do much but drive through.  We did, however, drive up to the cemetery where Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane are buried.  Wouldn't you know it?  They now charge to get in - into a cemetery!


It was a long day, but we both enjoyed it very much.  When we got back to the campground, though, it was not long before the bed started calling.  Ditto and I hit the sack early.
