Home and Heart

What a great day. Drove to Spearfish Canyon late morning. The weather was ideal – blue skies and 50 degrees! You drive along a road through the canyon with stops for things to see. First was Bridal Veil Falls.

Then farther up the road is a trail that leads to Roughlock Falls. A 1 mile trail gently uphill with breathtaking scenery all the way. The photos from an iPhone don’t do it justice.

Pleasantly tired, we set off to Deadwood – site of Wild Bill Hickok’s demise. Pleasantly preserved old town but not much to see – so off we went to Custer National Bison Preserve. You are not supposed to get out of the car and we didn’t. One bison walked right up to the driver side door to say hello.

Tomorrow – helicopter ride to see Mt Rushmore and the Crazy Horse Monument!
