Saturday, May 21, 2011 - Day 13
It rained again during the night. Still raining when I woke up at 8:30. As soon as the sun
came out we went to the city
of Deadwood. Old West History-it was the place where Bill "Wild " Hickock got shot at the back while playing poker with 2 Aces and 2 8's and a 9 on his hand. Up to this day if you have those cards it's called 
"dead man's hand" cards. This is also the place where Calamity Jane died. The main street is where all the shoot outs were held during Bill Hickok's time. Saloons,bars were all here at the time. At the present time main street is full of Casinos and stores.Deadwood City is full of Old West History.
After eating lunch at Buffalo saloon, we went on a bus tour around the city and at St. Moriah Cemetery. It was rainy all the time we were in Deadwood. Had some ice cream before we left for our camp. Deadwood City is 45 miles from our camp.
