Our Deadwood trip

So we went to Deadwood again this year.  It seems to be a trend with us, if we like somewhere we tend to keep going back.  We left on Saturday, February 26th about 2 pm.  Our friends Josh and Melissa went with us.  We haven't taken a trip with them before - they were sure a lot of fun. We stopped in Gordon at the Italian Inn for supper.  We decided to head further down the road when we were finished eating.  We drove to Hot Springs, SD and stayed the night there.  It was nice to get up in the morning knowing we didn't have too much further to go.  We stopped by Mt. Rushmore again.  This time we were actually able to get out and go get a closer look.

That evening Kevin's cousin Troy met us in Deadwood.  We went downtown and looked around and we ate supper at the Gem that night.  The following morning we went out snowmobiling.  With the exception of stopping for dinner, we snowmobiled from 9 til 4:30.  It was a long day, but a ton of fun.

 Sometimes the guys would venture off the trail a little ways.  Melissa and I got braver as the day went on, but we were not near as daring as the guys were.

That night Troy headed back to Gillette, WY and we just hung out at the casino that we were staying at, Cadillac Jacks.  On Tuesday, we had lunch at Kevin Costner's restaurant, and did more gambling.  Most of the time we were there we were gambling.  Unfortunately, we didn't have much luck.  That evening we ate at the Social Club and gambled some more.  Wednesday morning we loaded up and headed for home.  We couldn't go by Wall Drug and not stop.  We had to stock up on their famous donuts and fudge.  We got home about 9 pm that evening.  Overall we had a great time, and look forward to going back again.
