Days of '76 in Deadwood, SD, too bad we could not make it to any of the Rodeos
Neil and I took the Deadwood Boot Hill Tour, an hour long bus ride through Historic Deadwood and up to Mt Moriah Cemetery where Wild Bill Hickok was laid to rest.
The Historic Franklin Hotel...that is not where Neil and I stayed.
Mt Moriah Cemetery where many Western Legends found their final resting place.
Madame Dufran, owner of many western brothels in the 19th Century. Her epitaph reads simply "business woman"
Calamity Jane's burial site, she requested to be buried next Wild Bill Hickok even though the two only met in passing once.

Mount Rushmore at night
Shout Out to Minnesota
This is the tribute flag the hung at the unveiling of Mount Rushmore, at the time it was the largest US flag ever made. I thought this picture was neat since the glass reflected the image of Jefferson and Lincoln from the exhibit in the back ground.
