We headed west from Rapid City, SD today. We only traveled about 90 miles to Beulah, WY. Our purpose was to be centrally located to Devil’s Tower, WY and Spearfish, SD. It didn’t take long for us to reach our new destination so we loaded up in the car (Jerri & Lloyd Wood and Don & I). Took a drive on the Black Hills Scenic Byway (14A). Stopped for a quick glance of Bridal Veil Falls and then onto Roughlock Falls. We got out at the Lodge and took the trail…it’s about 1 mile. Got to the top of the
falls and lo and behold, there’s a parking lot up there! Guess we could have driven to the falls, but the walk was probably MUCH better for us! Jerri & Lloyd had said that they had heard of some place good to eat at the top of the Canyon. Well, we didn’t know if we were at the top or not, so we continued on! Once we got so far…it was clear that where we had gotten out for Roughlock was probably where we were supposed to eat, so we shifted gears and went into Deadwood. Don and I had been there several times already (last year) so there wasn’t too much
new to see. It was fun to show Jerri around since she had never been there before. We found one of Don’s favorite places to eat – a buffet and headed for it! After we finished stuffing ourselves, we finished walking along the famous Main Street of Deadwood. Something amazing that we saw…what was once a hole (last year) was quickly becoming a new-old building! It was still daylight and they were working on it as we walked by! It was a fun day! Tomorrow we will head to Devil’s Tower before heading to Gillette, WY for the FMCA Into Rally.
