I’m glad you made it up to the cemetery in Deadwood. It’s interesting that the hill is so steep that the graves had to be terraced with stone walls to keep them up there. Too bad you didn’t have time to see the Chinese section with its altar for burning offerings for the dead according to Chinese custom at the time. I thought the cemetery was the most interesting part of the town.
I had such a neutral opinion of S. Dakota, having never visited, but now I have it on our bucket list thanks to your video. You have a knack for selecting just the right places to give us a glimpse.
My family and I visited rapid city back in 1971. I remember going to dinosaur park. I was only 11 at the time. The next year Rapid City was hit by a terrible flood.
Next time you come to AZ, visit the Titan II Missile Museum south of Tucson near Green Valley. It has an actual Titan II missile (war heads removed) that you can tour. Guided tours lead you down into the missile complex and you can see the actual launch control room and then look into the silo near the bottom and see the missile. To learn more about the Titan II missile program read "Command and Control" by Eric Schlosser. You will have a whole new perspective about the entire missile program.
Thanks for sharing this video and these great camping sites. My son and I just left there last week (Rapid City, Mt Rushmore, Badlands National Park, Deadwood/Mt Moriah Cemetery, Wall, etc.). We found a great boondocking location right outside one of the entrances to BNP. If you make it back to Deadwood drive a little further south to the city of Lead. The Homestake Mine is there. Now we're in southern Idaho for a week or so and then possibly headed to warmer locations. Thanks again.
I'm so glad you are hitting all these great places. I've told people for decades that the western half of SD is an amazing tourist destination. I never get tired of visiting there.
Don't know if you made it this trip or not to Devils Tower as you were in the area but it's incredible. Also near Sundance, Wyoming not far from Rapid City area there is a buffalo jump. In fact I-90 cuts through part of the area but not the actual jump where native americans stampeded the bison to their death. Native Americans came from far away to harvest and preserve the meat and everything else. They used a very high percentage of the Bison....hides, bones ect. May be a worthwhile stop on a future trip. Thanks!
Great video! I went through SD a few years back, and Deadwood was on my list to see. I can't believe I missed the cemetery tho! I saw the signs for Dinosaur Park in Rapid City, so I had to make the detour. Great little park. SD is one of my fave states. There's so much more to see than just Mt Rushmore.
I looked up Potato Creek Johnny. John Perrett was only 4’3” tall and became famous for finding the largest gold nugget to come out of the Black Hills. He the nugget for $250 to W. E. Adams and it’s still on display in the Adams Museum in Deadwood.
The towns we (I mean you but I'm with you T) have go to and video and get supplies and explore are not always as entertaining and interesting as the nature videos. But actually it lets people know if they visit there how much time they should spend to get the most of their travels
Welp the first comment got for you is re: finding campsites... Forget what you call it, Buckolding, Buskering, Cuckolding... whatever it is you call finding random campsites (just messin' with you). Second only to Yellowstone and the Tetons, the most often visited place on the planet for me were the Black Hills. Now won't go into my wide and varied history of roughing it while trekking, but suffice it to say what fascinated me about the Black Hills was absolute gazmagoric, mind blowing, overnite campsites I discovered all over them thar hills. Utilizing the identical method for seeking campsites you identified, i.e., "turn down any vacant road onto any adjoining two-rut road and eventually, Voila!", you'd have your spot. No one is capable of describing in verbal terms the caliber of the camps I was gifted. I had tons of pics, I was a photographer after all, but that was 3 lifetimes ago and I shot slides. One example, had just passed thru the village of Custer and spotted a two-rut road, more like an old Jeep trail, buried in some pines that came right up to the side of the hwy. Was driving a, '76 Dodge Van then - extended version. Our immediate concern was its heighth and clearing the trees lower branches. Obviously it hadn't been used in some years but we barreled on thru to an opening which was a quick rise atop a grassy knoll. Perched directly in the center of it and setting out the cookstove, my new bride made us dinner as I broke open a bottle of Liebfraumilch (dry, German white wine), after I had shooed the cattle that were there back thru a gap in the fences. Breathtaking is the only way to describe our sunset that evening. On an 80 plus degree day in late August the sun was setting on our left, directly on our left. It seemed as tho could reach out and touch it was that close. It was this GIANT, brilliant, cherry amber disc, as large in diameter as the length of the van sitting in front of it. We may have wanted to laugh to express our nearly stunned amazement when we realized after a short time, in near exactly the same proportions just to our right on the opposite side of that knoll, was the pale, bland presence of the moon facing our campsite, equally surprising and overwhelming our senses. That is just one example from a long line of recurring events all similar in effect and grandeur. Can also point out that throughout the time we Americans have possessed the Black Hills, it is both widely known and reported that there were many Native American bands who previously, amongst themselves, laid claim to possessing that land, yet for them they all affirmed there was a more mystic and Spiritual benefit to living there that affected each group to the degree they fought to take it for their own. I would insist I can attest as to Why! And am confident am not alone.
OMG Tristan! you visiting the dinosaurs proves you are the ultimate nerd!!! (no offense, please, on the contrary!) Loved the perspective of showing that beautiful place and the humor in conveying the thoughts of the dinosaur: "what went wrong here?" and his eyes were looking up watching for meteorites! Really cute and informative, of course, I added it to my list of places to visit, Deadwood seems like an interesting historic town indeed. Thank you as always! :)
Enjoyed the whole vlog as usual, but my favorite parts were the Bighorn Sheep, the Dinosaur Park and Mt. Moriah Cemetery. Thanks again for sharing your adventures with us.
Loved the good looks at the bighorn sheep! Very amusing that Calamity Jane got her way in the end. Can almost see them having an argument in the afterlife:)
I renamed Deadwood, "Deadrear" after an unfortunate lunch there at one of the restaurants in town. My visit was close to the Sturgis rally and town was crowded. All sort of unfairly tanted my experience at Deadwood I think.
Great video! Been to Deadwood many times as I live in South Dakota. I hope you made it to the open pit in Lead. It's impressive! I love seeing the hills. The town's are fun, but the real fun is off in the woods. It's easy to spend a week just driving dirt roads out there and finding trails to hike.
In my thinking it's a unique thing to c Big Horn in a open n exposed area ! I'm glad for you !!!!! Predator levels must b low in the area. And w all the grass's they look WELL fed. So lucky r u ☺️. Oh, the rest was of interest 2 😊. What a unique 🌎 we live in despite man's negative influence 🧐. Well amigo, ☮️ & keep on rocking the free world 🌍😊
Dinosaur Park has the best views for fireworks....You didn't use the back road(Nemo Rd, quite a few camping spots along it) from Rapid City, did you???
That does seem like an odd location for the section of the Berlin wall. There is a section in Westminster College in Fulton MO. Churchill delivered his Iron Curtain speech there.
I like your videos. It is fun to go along with you on your trips. What apps do you use to track your distance and altitude gain/loss, and mapping while our hiking etc?
Calamity Jane, Martha Jane Canary, was a kind of conundrum. She wanted to be known for her wild west adventures and for being a tobacco-spitting, beer-guzzling, foul mouthed pistolero as good as any man. Yet she was a very feminine and nurturing woman in that she was very much in love with Wild Bill Hickock and she was also a well-known humanitarian in Deadwood. Martha Jane nursed many Deadwood residents stricken by the smallpox epidemic in a temporary hospital she set up. Initially, Jane was just caring for a friend but ended up caring for anyone who needed care during the smallpox epidemic. It’s generally agreed that she was a foul mouthed (“but it was a tender kind of cussin’.” - Working Nurse) angel of mercy who was kind, attentive and willing to nurse anyone...
Cool trip ! All the dinosaurs looked really friendly back then ? :)) Thanks for sharing !
I’m glad you made it up to the cemetery in Deadwood. It’s interesting that the hill is so steep that the graves had to be terraced with stone walls to keep them up there.

There is a very nice Titan Missile Musem near Tucson, AZ complete with missile(no warhead), control room, and quarters. Very nice tours ore offered.
Dinosaur & view most favorite. Enjoy seeing the town’s & history is always great. Thank you.
I had such a neutral opinion of S. Dakota, having never visited, but now I have it on our bucket list thanks to your video. You have a knack for selecting just the right places to give us a glimpse.
Oh yeah you gotta go. It’s totally worth it.
Traveled through So. Dakota many, many years ago. Loved the Black Hills, the surroundings and its rich history.
Dinosaur park… There he is wondering where it all went wrong!!! Bwahahah. I just fell off my chair laughing. Great video
Lol thanks!
My family and I visited rapid city back in 1971. I remember going to dinosaur park. I was only 11 at the time. The next year Rapid City was hit by a terrible flood.
HA! I lived in Wall, SD for a bit and a local brought me to the dino park and it was quite the oddity. Many oddities in SD. Love it.
My favorite was Deadwood! Nice old town!❤️😀🇺🇸🌏🚙
Dinosaurs to Calamity Jane! That was a fun video and no dead wood to speak of! Thanks.
liked those big horns and the dinosaurs, thanks for sharing...

Love your Chanel! Love to see the scenary it feels as if I was hiking along side of you. 👍
Thanks for the tips. Also try the 1880 steam train from Hill City SD to Keystone SD or Visa versa...

Also, Calamity Jane is from Princeton MO, a tiny MW Missouri town.

Georgia has one in the middle of a corn field. Here in South Carolina there's one in the savanah just before crossing the bridge to Savanah Ga.
Green, white-bellied dinosaurs - definitely goofy! 😉👍
You can add Dodge City to the list.
Thanks, nice tour, we love South Dakota!🌲❤🌲

This video was super interesting and enjoyable. My favorite part has to be the expression in the TRex’s face. So cute and laughable! Thank you !
We didn't have reservations to see the missile silo. Hope to see it next time we're out there.
Love seeing those old towns like Deadwood. And who would've thought you could see part of the Berlin Wall in South Dakota.
The Berlin Wall surprised me, for sure! Thanks Ric.
In my thinking it's a unique thing to c Big Horn in a open n exposed area !
I'm glad for you !!!!!

Deadwood, SD. reminds me of Central City, CO..
Hi. South Dakota sounds nice and fun. What places you recommend to stay for few days free to sight see
Excellent video.
Thanks!
The missile silo was great!
Thumbs up ! Wolf from central Florida.
We took the bus tour of Deadwood.
Good stuff!
Fantastic 👏 just Fantastic freind. 💯
I liked seeing Deadwood before it opened.
I'm surprised the weather is so warm there.
I don't believe that he did this in NOV.
@@jerrysullivan8424 Probably a bit back.
The T-rex looks a little like Ren, from "Ren and Stimpy" fame, lol.
Looks like they're ready to fire off a giant Fosters/DQ freeze....

I noticed a few of the US flags in Rapid City being flown at half staff, why would this be?
The description says he filmed this in late September. I think the flags were probably at half staff because of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death.
