Leaving Deadwood

After two nights in Deadwood, we were ready to head out.

We got up and headed out for coffee and breakfast at the Pump House. It is a coffee house in an old garage. It has lots of vintage garage related memorabilia. It must be a nightmare to dust but it is pretty cool. Their coffee and food was excellent and enjoyed our time there.

We meandered to our meeting place with the shuttle driver. He arrived shortly before noon and we were soon on our way back to Edgemont, where we started this trek up the mountain. The ride back was quite routine and we arrived to a stifling heat. It was pretty warm in Deadwood but it was mid 90s in Edgemont. The driver said it is unusually warm. It looks like it will be hot until Monday.

Today was a year since the death of Dana’s mom. So she ended up emotional at times as the loss is still pretty fresh.

We are in Rapid City and will do some day trips during the next several days before deciding where we go and what we do next.Read more
