Tour Day Tuesday-Keystone, South Dakota

Tour Day Tuesday will be in 3 parts, mainly because we went to 3 locations and that I took alot of photos...63 in total...lol....So we'll start at the beginning....

We left the campground about 8am and headed for our 1st stop.  Keystone, SD.  Keystone was a gold mining town in the late 1800s.  For those who are familiar with the "Little House" series by Laura Ingells Wilder and the TV show "Little House on the Prairie" will find the fact that "little Carrie" and her husband settled here where he worked for a mining company. Current pop. (without the tourists) is 327.   Included in the following photos are the usual gift shops, eateries & saloons, cute stuff, and interesting things on the drive there.

We found Dahl's Chainsaw Art Studio very interesting and would have sent one home, but when they are at a starting price of $3000, well, we just took pictures instead....lol


This is for our camping and RVing friends & family....



And here's for those who are into Motor Cycles...





We really enjoyed the place and put it on our list for returning to see and experience more in the future.


Now, onto the next leg of our adventure today.....
