We had breakfast at the hotel (it's free as part of the cost of the room), then we took a short walk up the street, and bought a couple of hats, since I couldn't find my cap before we left. Then we drove to Mount Rushmore - which is quite a ways up winding mountain roads from Deadwood. We spent a while there, taking pictures, and we had lunch. Afterwards we drove to Bear Country, and drove through an enclave of different animals, including elk, deer, mountain goats, and lots of bears. The drive through took a little bit of time, because the speed limit was 10 mph, and we were in a long train of cars stopping for photos every time there was an animal :)
We drove back to Rapid City, and stopped to pick up a few more pieces of clothing (like another pair of jeans for me). We came back to Deadwood, walked across the street to a steakhouse and had dinner. We gambled a little after dinner (the whole town is full of casinos), and I actually came away with more money than I started for a change.
Then we made it back to the room and called it a night.
