Gunfight today at noon: Downtown Hulett, for those people who find Sheridan to have too much hustle and bustle.

Ed, Flicka and the gang: You know it's bad when even the horses are saying, "You're not from around here, are you?"

Ever get the feelin' you was bein' watched? Moore Hill Cemetery outside of Hulett, the last stop on our Cemetery Tour. And, back in the trees, Bambi makes sure we're behaving ourselves.

Barbed-wire act: Bill gets his first experience with the high-tech security system at the family property outside Hulett.

Top of the world: The view from The Point, with the Devil's Tower approximately eight miles to the south. Not much sign of civilization, except for when you pass by Richard Dreyfuss on your way in.

Self-portrait: The fourth generation of the family to stand on this spot. I don't think great-great-grandpa Charlie Holmes had the same problems with getting the digital camera set up on the hood of the SUV, though.

Red Hill Mining Town: Picturesque Deadwood, South Dakota, in the heart of the Black Hills. I wonder where they get the money to keep the town looking so clean and pretty?

What? There's gambling here? Our second stay at the Bullock Hotel in Deadwood. It's a town built around low-stakes blackjack, so for some reason we keep finding ourselves drawn back there.

Same as it ever was: I-90, east of Rapid City. Nope, JD still isn't bored by it.

The flock: It's just not an option to bypass Wall Drug. Even if you don't partake of the free ice water, you can always buy fresh doughnuts, or stick candy, or knives, or Indian jewelry, or, of course, wigs.

Damn liberals: We weren't going to go into Casey's (on the banks of the Missouri River in Chamberlain, South Dakota) until we saw that both National Public Radio and the New York Times had recommended it. Talk about a siren song to Eastern Establishment types.

No vibrating beepers here: There were plenty of places to choose from when it came to dinner in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, but we were so enthralled by the "Immediate Seating" neon sign that we practically had an accident pulling in off the highway.
