Dad

We got to Old Faithful when it was erupting. We didnt know this was the actual eruption so we stayed and waited for it to go off for an hour after this. It was kind of a let down.

Prairie dogs. Cute!


This happened to be placed on a bench that dad sat at, after he talked me into camping.


He thought it was hillarious.
View from the campsite.

Deadwood, SD

Deadwood was alot better than anticipated. All of the buildings were kept to look like they did after 1876 and all the other fires that they had. I was afraid it was going to be a bit hokey.

We got lunch at the site where Wild Bill was shot durring a game of poker. The original building gone due to the fire in 1876.

This is one of the many ridiculous roadside attractions in South Dakota due to the lack of scenery.
Some hills. There were fields of sunflowers which were enjoyable. But that's really only exciting for oh, about 15 minutes.
