As I write this it is 1:40 a.m. local time and about 3:30 a.m. back home. We stopped in Gillette, Wyoming for the night as a staging ground for our trip to Yellowstone.
On the way we visited Deadwood in South Dakota. Cool touristy town with gambling. Slots, craps, poker. Very cool. Won some, lost some. But had a good dinner and then went on our way. It's the place 'Wild Bill' Hickok was killed at with his Dead Man's Hand of poker. He was marshal or sheriff there, if I recall. And what's up with the photo below. I think the poster's a fraud. No Way!
So now that we're in Gillette, we're poised to go over the Big Horn mountains in the morning and reach Yellowstone about midday local time, if not earlier.
Once we leave here, I'll try to post more images from the phone but that will end at the park, where there are no cell towers, no computer hookups and no telephones in the rooms. We'll be at the Lake Yellowstone Hotel in case of an emergency.
The above shot was just too nice. As we pulled out of Deadwood and headed into the Black Hills (Yes, the Lake Wales Passion Play is produced up here at the Black Hills Passion Play) the sun was going down and we couldn't pass up the opportunity to shoot the colorful image. Catherine snapped the shutter.
