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.

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream.

London’s National Portrait Gallery’s temporary exhibition, “Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens” presents an amazing collection of portraits, jewelry, personal effects, books, costumes, and more to illustrate not only the lives of the six women who married the second Tudor king, but the effort across five centuries to keep their memory alive.

The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
