Black Hills/Minot Vacation


My wife and I returned recently from a week of vacation with her folks to the Black Hill area of South Dakota. We toured historic Deadwood, visited the Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse monuments, and drove through the beautiful Black Hills countryside, including the Needles Highway. In addition we tasted wine at the Prairie Berry Winery in Hill City and went on a behind-the-scenes tour to see how Black Hills gold is made. Except possibly for the long hours in the car we had a great trip.

Then this past Saturday, my wife and I drove up to Minot, stayed at a wonderful B&B, went out to dinner and a movie, attended the worship service at Trinity Evangelical Free Church, walked around the zoo and picked up our new puppy before returning home (see previous post). It was a very nice getaway for the two of us.

By God's Grace, Jeff

There's a good blog post with an embedded YouTube video which shows a lot of details about how Landstroms makes their Black Hills Gold jewelry. Visit: http://blackhillsgoldjewelry.blogspot.com/2008/09/making-black-hills-gold-jewelry.html
I'm sure the Hill City tour was awesome!
