My wife and I took off for the Black Hills in South Dakota on Friday morning July
18th. We got to Mt. Rushmore that same afternoon. We then went on into Rapid City and stayed the next 3 nights there. The first day we went to Deadwood, first we went to the cemetery where Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane were buried, then we went to Saloon #10 where Wild Bill was shot and killed. They did a reenactment of the shooting and I got to be the bartender during the show. After that I hit the slot machines (I came out ahead if you came believe that). On the second day we went to Keystone, where we road a chair lift to the top of a hill that over looked the town. Later in the day we road a 1880s steam engine train from Keystone to Hill City and back. On the way back to Keystone they had a mock train robbery, which was pretty cool. The 3rd day we headed for the Devils Tower (which is in NE Wyoming), first we stopped in Sturgis SD, where they have the big bike rally. We got to the Devils Tower around 10:00 am. We did not go clear up to the tower, it looked great from the gate. We then started for home, all in all it was a great trip.

Sounds like a good trip. My parents went to Sturgus for a Harley rally once. They said it was pretty wild.
Looks like you and your wife had a wonderful time...a lot to see and do. Thanks for sharing. :)
