We rested on a day trip to Yellowstone National Park where we joined the crowds to watch Old Faithful erupt on schedule, then took a walk to see some lesser-known but still spectacular bursts of hot, steamy water.

An Old Mining Town - Rochford, SD

Founded in 1877, the Black Hills town of Rochford, South Dakota once had 500 residents, two hotels and 200 homes. When the area gold mines gave out, the prospectors moved on and, by 1881, it is said that only three men remained in town.

A hundred years later, people started coming back and reviving the old saloons.
