A Visit to Hill City

We have been in the Hills for a week and really have done very little because:
1) it's been too hot, 90-100+ degrees every day
2) my goal on this trip was to read and write-3 new stories done, and 6 books read, some for fun & some for knowlege
3) we have been to the Hills so many times, we weren't sure what to do that would be 'different'

Friends invited us to join them for dinner at the Alpine Inn tonight. My plan was to take photos of my dinner and post them. After my plates were cleared, I remembered the camera. Darn!

Plan B: walk the main street of Hill City and take some photos. Here are the results of Plan B.

Jack caught my eye

This metal horse was across the street from Jack

Do you recognize reused metal pieces beyond the spoon?

The horse's front whither

What do you recognize?

Horse's foreleg

I loved the color and barb wire design on the body

Jack's mule, Lone Star

Garry Underwood from NE was the sculpture for all three pieces

Sturgis Rally wear is EVERYWHERE

 These flowers crafted from brown wrapping paper

in the front window of an art gallery caught my eye

(sorry about the glass glare)

Our dinner destination this evening

Evening dinner choices tonight and every night...

6 or 12 ounce bacon wrapped fillet mignon served with 

baked potato, white toast and a quarter head of lettuce 

drizzled with ranch dressing

Their lunch menu offers a variety of very tasty items,

but evenings are all the same. There is always a line waiting to

be seated, lunch or dinner.
