Our stay in the southern Black Hills comes to an end on Thursday so Wednesday we headed into the Deadwood-Lead area to look for our next home site. We heard through the grapevine that it was going to be really hard to find a place to stay in Deadwood this weekend. A big event going on there called "Kool Deadwood Nights" apparently is quite popular. It's a big 50s/60s sockhop, a car auction of all the cars from that era and music galore. Friday night the main band is Paul Revere and the Raiders and Saturday, it's The Buckinghams. We were thinking that they must be pretty old by now! Ha. It's just up our alley, though.
Anyway, we got lucky with a place ti stay....or at least I think we're lucky. We got a camping site for 3 nights at a place called Whistler's Gulch. They were fully booked but when the guy saw our motorcycle and Rick told him about the camper, he said he could come up with something. We'll see.
With that accomplished, we took a ride through Spearfish Canyon. It is a beautiful byway through a huge canyon. Big rock walls way above you, wherever you look. We got on a gravel road for the first time (didn't really want to do gravel roads if we didn't have to) to go see a place called Roughlock Falls. So glad we did. It was one of the most beautiful waterfalls we have ever seen. The entire canyon ride is going to be hard to beat. We knew we really enjoyed SD when we were here in '05, but we don't remember it being this beautiful. Happy trails, friends & family.
