Aug 31 2017 - to Hulett,WY

So did we win at the Casino last night?  Well they 'gave' us $45 in credits for the slots. - we managed to get  $24 out of that in cash.  Unlimited free drinks while doing this, and another half price one later.  $20 credit for breakfast that more than covered it.  So it ended up costing us  close to nothing.


Deadwood has a great downtown that is often used to host large rallies.  Today 100's of Mustangs were in town.

Yep - Wild Bill was shot here.....

Then a brisk stroll up the hill to take in the Cemetery.  Lots of famous folks are resting up here - but the most famous are probably Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane,

A pleasant drive down Spearfish Canyon Rd  brings us to Spearfish (surprise!) then on to Belle Fourche for lunch

Belle Fourche  (pretty fork)  was a railhead at the end of a cattle drive.  It also became the geo-center of the country when Alaska was added.  So now you know.

Then in to Wyoming

 

The tiny town of Aladdin   (pop 15) This town sold recently at auction for $500,000
The store is 120 years old and fun to poke around in.

We stopped for the night at Hulett.  Nothing much there except for glimpses of tomorrows adventure.

A distant Devil's tower thru the haze.....
