The drive from Cody to Deadwood were pretty uneventful. We did have to change our oil at the Wal-Mart in Gillette, and we drove up to Devil's Tower to take some pictures, but the drive went pretty quickly and we arrived in Deadwood at around 17.00 (5pm).
For those who don't know it, Deadwood is an old western town in South Dakota. Being made more famous for us norwegians through the tv-series with the same name. I must admit that our research was limited and Deadwood was nothing like the other old western city I have visited, Tombstone. Deadwood is a tourist trap and a gambling city. Like Vegas - just a lot smaller.
What was suppose to be a short trip downtown ended up being a full night out. We ended up doing a little bit of gambling (I won back what I lost in Vegas), drinking all kinds of "local" beer and talking to two brides to be. It seemed like the only people visiting Deadwood was old people gambling - and bridal showers. It turned out to be a pretty fun night out and we were a little tipsy when going to bed around 2.00 (am).
