Gold!

There's gold in them thar hills!  This line delighted investors and ultimately led to native Sioux/Lakota peoples being forced from the Black Hills.  The gold mine closed recently but is still available in museum form. 

 Did I say she's a climber?  Gearing up for the olympics?  Nice cupola and a great 7-passenger vehicle in the background.  Keep smiling!

 A bit of water gets intercepted by the Black Hills as well - providing for waterfalls and nice green areas that can appear dark or almost black from out on the plains...

 M could barely be dragged away from the train...

 Oma and a half dozen gold quality grandkids...

You may think we were there for gold but notice how Homestake mine has nice cupolas on the buildings...  (to be continued...)
