Buffalo on the road
Devil's Tower
Deadwood, SD
WOW! It has been a day our last day here in South Dakota. I can't believe that we head back to Lake Wallenpaupak tomorrow. Anyway, it was cold this morning 55 degrees!! We went to church at St. John's Roman Catholic Church here and it was so crowded, standing room only. I haven't seen anything like that since I was a kid. It was a beautiful mass, very friendly and filled with fellowship. They would call out to the priest during his homily, there were no formal petitions, people just called out. The sermon was interesting since Father Peter put the Good Samaritan in the context of the culture 2000 years ago. It was very interesting. Before mass, people would just stand up and make announcements. It was very different.
After church, we took the scenic ride up to Deadwood where Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane performed. It was beautiful. We then headed west into Wyoming to see Devil's Tower, a geological wonder. Of course we had to shop once we were there!!!
Driving back to our hotel in Custer, we drove through Custer State Park and encountered a herd of buffalo in the road!! OMG! They were amazing and beautiful and truly huge!!! I was happy that they did not attack the car!! I hope that you like the pics.
Our final dinner here was at the Dark Horse Saloon and the food was delicious!! One funny thing happened. When we returned to our hotel, we tried to get in the back entrance because our room was nearer the back entrance but the key would not work. We went around to the front and here, they checked us out!!! They thought that we were leaving on Sunday instead of Monday!!! It was funny and the woman at the desk fixed the problem.
