Friends of ours own this lovely property in Nemo, SD where we were fortunate to spend a few nights and tour the area. I would say this area was just about my favorite part of the Black Hills area of South Dakota. This is the view from our front window
This was the view out our door. There is a creek that runs below the tree line where we spent time relaxing and watching Molly try to catch fish.
Driving down a dirt road about a mile is where this spruce tree had been planted to replace the one taken for display at the White House.
Deadwood, SD is a wonderful little tourist town. We've been to many and typically they are all the same, restaurants and gift shops. Deadwood is that way too, but a lot of the gift shops were almost museum-like with interesting artifacts. And they have casinos, that made it feel like you were in an old cowboy town's gambling hall. It was neat.
Although you could drive down the main road, no parking was allowed. This added to the good vibe.
The small mining town of Lead, SD is a mile down the road.This is an elevator shaft that carried workers into the mine.
Lead's visitors center showcases a facility for experiments on neutrinos, dark matter and other nuclear physics topics. It was beyond my comprehension.
