We had a fun day today. We started with a tour of Jewel Cave which is a little west of here. Not as spectacular as Carlsbad or Crystal, but still very cool. There's no dark like cave dark. Plus, they had one formation that looked like eggs and another that looked like bacon (which the HB loved). What's not to like?
The wife wanted to stop at the National Museum of Woodcarving. Do yourself a favor and skip this tourist trap.
We then drove through the Black Hills forest up to Deadwood. A pretty trippy place that, as you would imagine, plays up its past (gunslingers, gambling and whores) and current (GAMBLING!). Not so much on the HBO show. The drive was pretty and the tour was mildly amusing. And the wife won a few bucks pulling slots.
One thing I've noticed driving in these parts is that there aren't many 15-30 year olds who don't have visible tats and/or meth teeth. Lots of billboards about elder abuse, spousal abuse, drug abuse, etc. I'm beginning to feel safe in LA.
