On the way here, we stopped at Murdo and explored "1880 Town", which is a town created by moving original buildings which were built in the 1880's. The buildings were furnished in 1880's style. They had a complete town set up, including a saloon, school, livery and stagecoach station. I felt really old when I recognized most of the "antiques". Teeheehee After all, we went to a one room schoolhouse and a small country church. We didn't have a saloon though!!! :>)
I'll try to post some of the pictures after I get them downloaded on my computer. I still have some I need to post from the Hannibal area.
I almost forgot. We also stopped at the Wall Drug Store. It became famous in the 1930 for giving away free icewater!! Go figure. As a matter of fact, they still give it away!!! It's pretty commercialized now and covers around 20,000 square feet. Lots of touristy stuff, which isn't my thing. I much prefer the nature things. But, I'm glad we went and got a drink of their free water. We didn't stay too long. Just enough to get the water and take a few pictures. They did have some beautiful stained glass "stuff".
I think we're going to hang around here for a couple of days. Mt. Rushmore is withing driving distance in our car, so I think we are going to drive there on Saturday. We may just relax and explore Deadwood tomorrow.
Catch ya later.
