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.  Riverside Geyser erupted for 20 minutes, creating a beautiful rainbow.  Chromatic Pool is part of the largest geyser field in the world.  Grotto Geyser is a lesser-known steam engine.  Old Faithful leaps high, but it's biggest asset may be its reliability, always showing up on time.

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.   The front porch of the Moonshine Gulch Saloon is a good place to pass the afternoon. You could also stop by the "Mall."   You can get the key to the museum from the saloon.  The Pattersons offer rooms to rent at their home, which sits on Mickelson Bike Trail.  The remains of a gold mine that blew up and killed two men in 1902. |
