Day 6 - Not a lot to tell

This was a slow day. We had to go into Spearfish first to get a spray bottle. We have two bottles of Windex on the coach. Jimmy has dropped both of them and broken off the spray part of the bottle. We went trying to find just a spray bottle. But, I found a 97 cent bottle of generic Windex and bought it. Plus mayo, salad dressing and a head of lettuce (all of that while Jimmy was looking for one spray bottle!!!). Right after we walked out of the Walmart, I got an email from a friend. It was a joke that has been going around where the local Walmart writes the lady and advises her that her husband cannot come to Walmart anymore because of all of the tricks he has been pulling!!! Jimmy doesn't do that. But, back to the spray bottle. We got back to the coach - and Jimmy dropped the bottle. Luckily this time, it didn't break. From now on, when he goes out with the spray bottle, I'll just have to tape it to him.

Then we went to Deadwood, SD. Deadwood was a dead town until the citizens passed a referendum which allowed gambling. Now, almost every store front is a gambling establishment. The last time we were here, I did not find that they paid very well. Today, I thought they had not changed until the last hour. Yes, I won a little. At least I came back to the coach with more than I went with.

While I was playing video poker, Jimmy drove through the canyon drive back to Spearfish (which we had done before) and took a few walks in the canyon. Then back to the RV park. He took zero pictures.

When he got back to Diamond Jack's to pick me up, we drove up the hill to the cemetery where Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane are buried. There is a section in the cemetery where the Chinese who lived in Deadwood in the cowboy days were buried. They all came over very poor and opened laundries. The wound up pretty well off. They were buried in the cemetery, but all but two were dug up and their bodies sent home to China. There was a full section for Jewish citizens. I did take pictures in the cemetery and will upload them and attach them to this post later this evening.

We drove back to the coach on a back road which took us back to Sturgis, SD. The motorcycle rally is not until early August, but all of this area of the country is covered with motorcyclists. In addition, there is a Corvette rally here in the area. We have seen lots and lots of absolutely beautiful Corvettes. We went to the place where they meet and saw a new Corvette that lists for over $100,000. I don't think the nose is high enough off the ground to get up the little rise in front of the garage, so I cannot have one. It was really pretty though. But, you have to think about the fact that you would have to pretty much tear up the garage in order to fix it where the car would be able to get into it!!!!

Tomorrow we head to Billings, MT. So, tonight, I am washing the dirty clothes which have accumulated. Kind of sounds like being at home, doesn't it!!! At least I don't have as much floor space to sweep, vaccum and mop!!!
