The Rest of Wednesday's Adventure

Wednesday started with a tour of the Homestake Gold Mine in Lead, SD. (See the previous post)

Our next adventure involved

Chocolate

The building was once a gas station
It looks like a 'dump' on the outside
I would never have stopped and would have 
missed some of the BEST homemade chocolates
I have ever tasted


Chubby Chipmunk Chocolates


has a chipmunk theme


acorn tins


gold bar chocolates





porch rocking chairs


the place has an outside vending machine


for its chocolates
you can get a 4-pack of truffles or 
an individual truffle for $3.00


more chipmunks

After having dessert,
the smoothest, creamiest chocolate ever,
we motored to Lewies,
a hole-in-the-wall hamburger joint.




Lewie's is very popular during the motorcycle rally
and ski season


Hubby took the pen anyway


the burgers were awesome
huge, hand-patted & very tasty


one of the beer can walls


somebody was practicing their chain saw
carving skills

Much laughter. Great conversations.
Ready for Day 2 ~ the next post

  1. Was the previous comment a joke?
    We'll have to visit Lead now. We just drove thru there once last year. Thanks for the tour :-)
    I'm hoping that now with the new computer we can subscribe and leave comments on your blog. So this is also my test.
    Hope to you you both in September and then we'll see you in AZ!
    Cheers
    Sherry (& Jon)

  2. Dessert first then lunch! That's the way to do it. Do you know how I remember the difference between dessert and desert? I love desserts so ss means I can have two!
