Deadwood-May 8, 2019

We never saw the sun the entire time we were in Deadwood, but we didn't care. It is such a fun place to be that we never let the weather stop us. This time we stayed at the Deadwood Mountain Grand, on the top of the hill above Deadwood. It is a really nice place but just far enough up the hill to make us walk to get where we want to go. That's healthy. So we walked. The Deadwood Mountain Grand wants to appear to be more upscale than the other places, but it doesn't affect us that way. They have all sorts of artwork all through the hotel/casino.

They always have at least one motorcycle on display. This one belongs to someone I have never heard of. But it is still very pretty.

This is one of the oddest sculptures I have ever seen. The title is "Eleven Feathers". It is made of stainless steel and it is huge so I can't even guess what it weighs. It is actually quite good looking. The price was not posted. Instead you have to call the artist to find out what the price is.

On Monday morning we went to Rapid City to renew our license plates. To Rapid City and back we drove in fog, snow, rain, sleet, graupel and more fog. What a weird day. Still when we got back to the hotel, we went for a walk. The air was so clean I did not want to go indoors. So we didn't.

We are back in the swing of things now, but we have just made reservations to go to WinStar next week. You know we are very fond of that place. After that we are "grounded" until school starts in the fall.
