Deadwood, South Dakota

Another stop on our epic road trip last fall was Deadwood. Now if you watched the HBO series Deadwood and were expecting anything remotely similar to that you would be in for a big surprise! Not a bad surprise, but it's not the wild wild west anymore.

We decided to take a bus tour up to the Mount Moriah Cemetery where Wild Bill and Calamity Jane are buried.

The cemetery was interesting but one of the best things in the tour was the amazing view from the hilltop.

I think Deadwood is a fun place to spend an afternoon as a quick pitstop from I-90 on the way through to the Black Hills but I don't think I'd put it top on my list of things to go out of the way to see.
