Deadwood, Sturgis, and Rapid City

 



We drove a little over an hour to get to Deadwood.  Had to go see this city because Graham and I saw the series and anyone who knows Graham, knows that he loves his cowboy shows.  We took Kevin Costner's Original Deadwood Tour.  The tour was in an old school bus with ratty seats, lol.  But, our tour guide Dave, was great, very funny.

Madam Dora DuFran; most successful madam in Deadwood, started running brothels at the age of 14.

After lunch in Deadwood, we drove to Sturgis.  Bob was looking to purchase a new stock for one of his rifles.  We found a couple of places that manufactured guns but no gun shops that were open.  Drove up and down Main Street and then drove on to Rapid City.  We went to the Factory Outlet for Black Hills gold and found some jewelry that we liked. 😊$$$$
