June 17 - Badlands to Deadwood

Woke up this morning and darn near froze...17 degrees at 7:00...brrr, not used to those temperatures.

A nice leisurely 3 hour drive to Deadwood. We drove through the Badlands National Park today, we have been here two times previously but it's always so nice to see. We were pretty early so the traffic was not heavy yet.







There was a quite a bit of road construction through the park and this poor guy must have lost a bet or something because he was out in the middle of nowhere holding the sign for traffic coming down the dirt road....we never saw a single car....



Got into Deadwood pretty early, relaxed a bit, gave Lu her special pill and went into town to see Sawyer Brown playing live for Wild Bill Days.

They block off all traffic downtown and then the stage right there!




Unfortunately four songs in they had to pack it in as the storm was a brewing. By the time we made it back to the RV the skies opened up for a real good storm!!

Today was a lazy day. As no cell service and wifi at the campground, I needed some down time to book some stuff. Found a great dog park and Lu made a new little friend... Like little....8 week old little pitti.... They had a great time and then back into town. Just like most towns outside of a National Park...there's a bear thing going on. We didn't stay long....little walking...late lunch and back to the trailer. George hitting the enormous candy store....$22.00 later.....omg Second night of firefly watching was even better than the first. We saw some Blue Ghost fireflies....the males stay lit for up to a minute and glow a soft blue colour...there are not many in this area as they are mostly in the Asheville forests so I was super excited to see them. On our way back I had a firefly on my hand for the longest time....he just kept walking and blinking and walking....💗 I never like to say that I won't see them again here in th...

June 6 - Downtown Asheville

The temperatures here are refreshing....it cooled down last night to about 14 degrees...first time in a long time that the air conditioner was turned off and windows opened to let the breeze in through the night... We spent the day tripping around Asheville. Lu is in Doggy Daycare today so we are on our own. There are many large old buildings with individual little boutique stores and eateries.. Our first church we have been in on this trip...we got invited in so ..why not! Very cool area, we mostly window shopped....browsed around...enjoyed the cool old buildings... We saw quite a few old buildings converted into "Art walks" where there were individual artist displays/sales....love this guy!!!! A bike made out of wood....$60,000.00!!! Then back out on the streets!! Asheville is Beer Capital USA...and by 2:00...still no beer in our be...
