Vacation unwinding and downloading
Jul. 27th, 2015 09:47 pmI was in South Dakota over the weekend. My singles cruise group held a reunion in historic Deadwood, with most of the group staying in the Bullock Hotel or the Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid suites nearby.
I initially planned to leave home at 5 AM Thursday and arrive in Deadwood around 3 PM. I left at 5:30 instead, but took shorter rest breaks to arrive around 1:30.
The group's "host suite" just down the road from the hotel hosted a cookout Thursday night. On Friday, the group went on a monuments tour, including Mount Rushmore, the unfinished Crazy Horse monument and the Needles Eye. We also drove through Custer State Park and encountered burros, buffalo and other wildlife.



Saturday night was the final night of the Days of '76 Rodeo. The group took the Deadwood Trolley to the rodeo grounds. There was a long line for the trolley after the rodeo, so most of the group walked the roughly 0.8-mile route back to the hotel.
I'm still uploading my photos and videos from the trip to my computer.
