Just to let you know, I'm not in South Dakota anymore...I'm in Minnesota. Visiting relatives and continuing to clean out my mother's home. Mom was a packrat. There's no way around that. She kept everything. And now it's up to her two children to sort through it all and decide what to do with it.
I have frequently muttered to myself that I'm not going to do this to my children. But then I think...well, after all their shenanigans maybe it would serve them right. BUT then I think - wow - this may be payback for my stunts while growing up. Finally, I just get back to sorting!!!
At any rate, I will be at this until I leave next Monday. And when I do, I will be driving straight back to the east coast with only a stop or two for sleep at some truck stops.
On to the Franklin Hotel in Deadwood. It is a beautiful building...
Inside the ceilings are tin and the lights are lacy...
They allowed pictures except of the teller's window...yes it is a casino as well as a hotel.
The city does a re-enactment of western stories at different times throughout the town. These are the characters taking part in front of the hotel...
The weather was a bit uncooperative as you can see. We did get wet on more than one occasion!!!
I'll share more pictures from Deadwood next time.
Thanks for dropping in...
Enjoy your evening...
