Deadwood Burial and off to Wyoming

On 9/30/08 as we left Deadwood we took a tour of Mt Moriah Cemetery (aka:Boot Hill) and for you Deadwood HBO series fans..it is the burial spots for many of the real characters...

Seth Bullock...he is buried way up at the very top w/view of the Black Hills...a real hike up but worth it to me as he was a real western hero...




A tribute to the Chinese that worked the town of Deadwood

This plaque below the American flag states that it is the only American Flag that is allowed to fly 24/7 365 days/nights a year


Here is where Wild Bill & Calamity Jane are buried (next to each other as per Jane's demand). Note the gargoyle on all 4 corners of Jane's plot!

A scenic view taken from the truck window while driving down one of the most intense roads I have ever driven...



We made it over these mountain's...



We spent last evening in this town of Ten Sleep (pop: 308)...we ate at local joint & drank w/the cowboys...

We ate at this place next door is bank...celebrated 125th year and everyone came and placed their brand on the exterior...this bank does not need a federal bail out.
