Sylvan, Spearfish, Lead & Ike?

2008 West--35th Anniversary, Road Trip, South Dakota, States

After a rainy night today dawned sunny and bright. We did laundry and took our time breaking camp so that we had a dry tent to put away. Left Horsethief Campground and headed to Sylvan Lake for lunch and a hike.  Then we headed up US 385 to Spearfish Canyon but by then the skies had become leaden and it was spitting a light rain so we didn’t hike.  We stopped briefly in Lead to learn about the huge gold mine there but it was blustery and cold. Was it the outer fringes of the remnants of Hurricane Ike?  We started to head west on I-90 but didn’t get far before deciding to stop at a Best Western and enjoy a warm dry room and reliable internet access!

    Can’t wait to see all the photos, especially the side by side comparisons from Honeymoon 1 and Honeymoon 2.

Burgh House Hampstead

Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.

Wicked The Musical

Wicked The Musical

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
