    Day 2 Deadwood

    May 3, 2024 in the United States ⋅ 🌫 32 °F

    Today we woke up to snow. We waited for it to stop, around noon, and then went to explore. Our intentions were to go to Cosmos Mystery House, Wonderland Cave, and Deadwood. On our way to Cosmos, we discovered they were closed. We changed directions to go to Wonderland Cave just to discover the road to the cave had its gate closed. So Deadwood it was. We had lunch at Mustang Sally's, then wandered through the shops and found a few treasures. We watched the shootout at Outlaw Square, then went for a drink at Saloon No. 10. While there, we attended the show about Wild Bill Hitchcock. We then wandered through a few more stores, then decided to come back to the cabin.
    On our way back, we explored some different roads where we saw an entire herd of elk, a flock of wild turkey, and of course many deer.
    When we got to the cabin, the boys went fishing, we had dinner, played Yhazee, and went to bed.

  • Day 4 Cosmos

    May 5, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 59 °F

    Today we took it easy in the morning, relaxing at the cabin. We then went to Cosmos Mystery House. We then went back into Keystone for an old time photo session! What fun!
    After we got our pictures framed and picked up we went back to the cabin. Tim, Alex, Logan, and Oliver stayed at the cabin to go fishing and relax. I went to Deadwood to do a little more shopping.
    When I got back to the cabin, we relaxed on the deck and visited. Tim grilled our dinner. We spent the rest of the night visiting and playing games. Our last night at the cabin.

    May 6, 2024 in the United States ⋅ 🌬 68 °F

    Today we got up and moving early. Alex had to be in Rapid City airport by 11. We had a great time, and are reminded, once again, how fleeting time truly is. I am glad we had these moments and look forward to more adventures.Read more
