We stopped in Spearfish, Sd for a short visit and have been here 3 days. It is a beautiful spot and we have seen some awesome sights. We drove to Spearfish Canyon and saw two amazing waterfalls, beautiful flowers, rock formations, and trees that were just starting to turn to fall colors. We went to the Great Plains Heritage Museum which was done so well - it covered all of the history. It is surprising how much of our history has been recorded and precious treasures saved. We enjoyed the drive so much the first day that we decided to stay and continue on down the road and finish the loop - no more waterfalls but gorgeous scenery - the road led us to a gold mining town -Lead, SD - it has alot of old buildings from as far back as 1879. I believe there is still gold in the huge mine. One of the mines was over 1/2 mile wide and 1200 ' deep.
We had fried dill pickles - I can't wait to get home and make them for everyone - they are really really good - they even gave us peanut butter to dip them in - I know what you are thinking but it was really good - they are good even without any dip. I think we will have to try them with our salsa and sour cream dip.
We also were able to get a round of golf at Belle Fouche Country Club thanks to Lea's cousin It was a beautiful course with very green grass, fast greens, some very cute wood craved bears along the way. I am getting better with my woods and driver each time we play.
We are off to explore more of South Dakota tomorrow - it will take us a couple of days to drive across South Dakota.
