Deadwood
"My brother and I took a trip to the Black Hills and stayed in Deadwood during Wild Bill Hickok Days (June 13-16)The weather was beautiful, 74 degrees and sunny the whole weekend. While the town is quite diffrent then you would see on the TV series or read about, during this weekend a little bit of the old west comes out. From gunfights in the streets and saloons with gambling and drinking in the streets added in are free concerts setup right in main st. And the fastest quickdraw championships held at a field down the road was something to see. Add in a day trip to see Mount Rushmore and It was a great long weekend trip.

Bullock Hotel, Deadwood, SD
"My fiance and I made a trip here at possibly the worst time of year - April - which in South Dakota is still pretty frosty. The hotel staff was great, they gave us the history of the hotel and made sure to give us a room a lot of reports of paranormal activity. The room itself seemed a little run-down, the bed wasn't very comfortable, and there wasn't really anything to do in town due to tourist season not officially beginning for another month or so. But we got a great rate, we definitely enjoyed our stay, and we will definitely be back - this time with cameras, and hopefully we'll catch something spooky!

Neat Historical Town Turned Tourist Site
"Like a lot of people, I've gotten sucked in to the Deadwood series on HBO. So, when I had a chance to drive through Deadwood on a crosscountry trip, I was excited to see the town in the flesh. Unfortunately, the real feel of the frontier town is largely gone and has been replaced with a lot of touristy restaurants and casinos. There is still a Gem Saloon and I almost stopped. But there was a light up clown in the window and I was just too depressed to cross the threshold. One worthwhile thing for Deadwood buffs is the Mount Moriah Cemetery. For $1 you can get a map of this steep and vast cemetery and see the graves of Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, and Sheriff Seth Bullock. The good sheriff is a very steep walk up the mountain that overlooks the cemetery. But if you are willing to make the trip, it's worth the climb.
