We drove through the Black Hills, leaf peeping, city hopping, driving the back roads.

| Lead, SD. Carol and my Great Grandparents lived here. Great Grandpa Skinner was a gold miner for the Homestake Mining Company in the early 1900's. We filled out an information request form at the museum to see if any records can be found about them during their time there. |

Once they got as much gold from the underground veins as they could they started surface mining. This is a BIG pit.
After our return to Rapid City some of us went to Bear Country, a drive through wildlife park. Enjoyed the drive, no photos as my camera battery died. They have a bear cub nursery. Had fun watching the cubs. From there we went to dinner at the Fort Hays Chuckwagon Supper and Cowboy Show. Good food served on a metal pie plate and a fun musical review. |
