Black Hills are so beautiful,no wonder the Indians fought so hard to keep it. You guys are an awesome couple, your videos are the next best thing to being there !
@Conway Twitter You won't regret it but property's gettin expensive 'the Coloradan's' are movin in and prices are goin up. Bro just bought 2 acre lot with water & power to line just outside Deadwood; $150K!
@Conway Twitter Im on the eastern side of SD and visited the black hills countless times, its awesome here but the winters hit way below negatives and the summers go above 100 degrees 😂
Hello Lord Spoda. Deadwood, the logical sequel to your Sturgis video yesterday. What is good with you is that there is always a moment when we drink a little shot of Jack's in a very nice place.....we shouldn't meet, it would end up in a cure for whiskey , ah ah !
Many thanks to both of you for all your excellent videos showing the real America. I live in England and many years ago worked with a man called Joseph Rosa in an office in London. He was a world authority on Wild Bill Hickok and wrote a number of books about him (I have them all, signed by him too!). On a holiday with a group of friends in the early 1990s I asked that we visit Deadwood so that I coud visit the town to see where he was shot and killed, and buried.
I’m in Deadwood/Lead area now. Girlfriend is from here. You missed a lot of history and places, like Homestake mine. Largest gold taken in America for 123 years. Plus all the natural beauty outside Deadwood, creeks and simply amazing trails. Can’t see everything though, I get it. Maybe next time By the way, much of the history in Deadwood is fabricated for tourism. Calamity Jane was buried next to wild bill as a rub on him, not her dying wish, Lol! I’m spending time to gold hunt and find the real history as much as I can, and it’s a beautiful journey of discovery here 👌
Can’t hit everything but hey thanks for adding.. sounds like a really cool place. I want to go. Cemetery is totally cool. Have they ever burned down? Not sure why I asked? The downtown is cute.
Thank you for making this video. My family and I were visiting that same day! How exciting to be able to see my family in the background at 7:45 minutes into your video. My kids had saw you and your wife and the first thing they said, "mom i think he's a famous RUclipsr" Blessing to you both, may Father God grant you both more adventures.
Thank you for doing these we recently moved to SD from TX and so it’s a huge cultural shock. It’s funny because in the town I’m in my family is 3 of the the 8 African Americans so we get stared at A LOT! But I’m glad you are doing these because they give me insight on things to do!
If you’re still there you have to have breakfast at the Lee Street Station cafe! Best food and the owners are a fun time! Be careful! Might leave there pretty tipsy!
I'm thinking of one day flying into Denver, then renting a vehicle to drive up to western South Dakota to see Mt Rushmore and Deadwood area, so I'm looking out for some US-85 footage on the way to Cheyenne.
When I was in Washington visiting my son I took the day out and drove a couple hours away to where they filmed Northern Exposure which was supposed to be a town in the boondocks in middle Alaska. I mean I recognized everything right away and they still have the radio station in the window that you could look at with the old, old, old radio equipment, the General store and I had lunch at The Brick which looks a lot different than the TV show inside, the outside look the same. I was able to get something off my bucket list because I love that show, maybe one day you’ll make it there if you haven’t already. The town was Roslyn, Washington
We have the same problem with bikes here in Gettysburg. It’s cool to see how well the HBO did in some ways and how they strayed. Great video. Thanks for sharing
Like your music choice. Reminds me of that series about building the railroad west, with Anson Mount and Common, can't think of the name of it right now.

Awesome video. Love Deadwood. Iconic Old West. However, the "aces and eights dead man's hand" is a myth started in 1929 by a writer who wanted to gain fame by perpetuating a myth. Truth is, when Wild Bill was shot, the cards he was holding flew out of his hands, and since everyone was concerned for him, no one cared what cards he had been holding. The bartended later scooped up all the cards, including the ones held by the other players at the table, and the cards were all mixed in together. So the truth is that yes, whatever cards Wild Bill was holding was definitely a "dead man's hand", but the "aces and eights" is a totally made-up myth.
Hey Spoda...Deadwood S.D...man,I've always wanted to visit Deadwood,actually I've always wanted to visit that whole area of western South Dakota...and it's interesting seeing all the bikes etc,when you think of Sturgis you don't really think about everywhere else that's close to Sturgis also being effected but it makes sense considering Sturgis is a town of 7000 and it swells up to 700,000+ for the bike rally so those folks have gotta go somewhere as Sturgis can't hold em' all so it completely makes sense for em' to invade rapid city as well as deadwood and all points between etc...I loved seeing the town of Deadwood as well as the cool bikes...cool video brother!
Awesome! I love the movie Calamity Jane with Doris Day! Calamity Jane really loved Wild Bill so it would be appropriate for her to be buried next to Wild Bill! Thank you I’m still watching to catch 🆙
I actually stayed in the bullock hotel because it was haunted. Even stayed in the very room where Seth bullock died. Also went on a ghost tour of the Fairmont hotel across the street and visited the historic saloon number 10. Also went to the Adam's house. All four locations were on a TV show called ghost adventures. The episode was titled ghost adventures halloween special: deadwood city of ghosts
Taken several trips out there. You guys only visited a fraction of the interesting and fun bars etc out there. We always stayed at Mineral Palace. They had an excellent restaurant attached to hotel that served breakfast, lunch and dinners, along with a bar.
I saw it in the middle seventy's before it burnt down the last time . Doesnt look at all as it did with wooden buildings and boardwalks . The brothel was open and the ladys were very nice but my wife said that was enough Lol . Thanks for the look see . . . T/C/E
Can’t wait for you to visit the Yellowstone region and hopefully you visit my town of Idaho Falls ID. It’s not a big city but definitely the biggest city closest to the Tetons and Yellowstone. It’s kind of a regional hub of Eastern Idaho and Western Wyoming.
I've been to Idaho Falls several times. It is a beautiful little city. We may be able to get there on this trip - if not, it'll be in a couple months. :)
Never seen strips of hotels like that… 🙂Kinda strange. Deadwood is beautiful country side. Thank you for going to the graveyard! Would be satisfying to live there.
You went into Saloon #10 but didn't go to the back where the table is that Wild Bill Hickock was shot and the door that Jack McCall came through??? That's the main reason to go in there.
something about that part of the country i live in the mid atlantic part of the country and rarely do you meet someone from the dakotas montana that area it must be a great place but you can have it wouldn't go on your dollar
To anyone that wants to go here and doesn't want to see the motorcycles, just avoid the last of July and the first 10 days of August. The Sturgis motorcycle rally will be happening and it's super loud and noisy. We've been there in the early part of July and it was pretty quiet
We are planning a road trip to Yellowstone and Grand Canyon this summer. Already have reservations there, but still need to plan our trip out there and back. How you do find your hotels and book them? Any particular website you prefer?
I live nearby in the bigger city. While cool, after the novelty wears off, I don't know what locals would do in Deadwood for a pastime ? Same with Lead, or any other small town in the hills. Sure there's the hills, but what else ? Things are declining in Rapid as well. Tourism down.
Sawing the photos of Deadwood on google maps and seeing all the motorcycles parked in the street gave me a smile. It has a cool history. Nice to see a video of it.
Yes, unfortunately the historic Deadwood wasn't kept seperate from modern times. Just as Virginia City Nevada wasn't protected But I appreciate you two covering the historic past and there are certainly interesting places in Deadwood. The Montana Virginia City, Nevada City, Bannock City, and Garnett are very well preserved and kept like they were in the "old days"
President Grant sorely wanted to make peace with the Indians. He had a treaty drawn up at the beginning of his term giving the Indians the Black Hills. Then, a recession occurred. The U.S. needed gold badly. Grant sent Custer in to investigate, telling him if he found anything to keep quiet. Custer found gold and let eastern news papers know about it before Grant.
Black Hills are so beautiful,no wonder the Indians fought so hard to keep it. You guys are an awesome couple, your videos are the next best thing to being there !
The land was stolen from the Native Americans. It is truly a sad and disturbing story of what was done to a group of humans
It's native American, or the human beings and by then they knew gold was there, duh!
The black hills is sacred land to the Sioux Lakota tribes and still is to this day.
Thus... Black Hills Gold and it beautiful 😍!
Cool video! Love seeing anything about the Old West, and seeing the graves is amazing. Thanks for your videos, they're much appreciated.
Thank you for watching, Gary!!
South Dakota really is the best state in the US.

@Conway Twitter Yeah I bet so 😂 The summers here arent so bad but they are super humid which kind’ve sucks but the winters are brutal
Too cold for my Texas blood. I’ll just visit
@@nomandad2000 good idea, just bear in mind that April Showers bring out the snow plowers
What a beautiful ❤️ view of Deadwood, from that Cemetery. I never knew Wild Bill had such a big grave.

Amazing video, guys. Loved the tour and especially the graves. Thank you for bringing us along. Love from Mass.
Thanks so much!
Revisiting the the historic Old West preservation..nice to experience that horse drawn wagon and buy some Old West souvenirs...Fascinating..
I live in Wyoming and love it but Deadwood South Dakota is one of my favorite places.
Mine now as well. It's a real, relatively unknown gem. But that will change as the word gets out.
Your wife sounds like a real dream to travel with. She called you a dork. lol
Notice shes only in certain videos. I think the lapel mic idea was hers.

How u like it? And is it safe
Fill us in we need an update
Hi! We are loving your videos and just watched this one last night. Deadwood looks like an amazing place. We had no idea!! It’s beautiful.
If you’re still there you have to have breakfast at the Lee Street Station cafe! Best food and the owners are a fun time! Be careful! Might leave there pretty tipsy!
I'm thinking of one day flying into Denver, then renting a vehicle to drive up to western South Dakota to see Mt Rushmore and Deadwood area, so I'm looking out for some US-85 footage on the way to Cheyenne.
You should. You'll have a great time. :)
Great video. Thanks for sharing! 👍🏼
Thanks for watching!
Visit The Ten Ask for Lori or Charlie!
Love Deadwood!!!
Add Thermopolis, Wyoming to your list. Great town, great people, and just a couple hours outside Yellowstone.
That is a cool place. My wife and stayed in Ten Sleep a couple of years back and Thermopolis was one of the sites.
Yeah, it's a cool place. Last time I was there, 20 years ago, you could go to the thermal baths.
Awesome state! Second best old west town to visit! Deadwood is awesome!
It really is. I was surprised. It's kind of a hidden gem, but the word is clearly getting out.
This is a place I will add to my list to vist..Great video..Replying From Maryland....
You won't be disappointed. It's really a fun place to spend a several days, plus it's nearby so many other great places to see. :)
I love this area of your beautiful country.
This place is well worth a visit, key. It's awesome.
Great Video ....Enjoyed Your comentary,,,Thanks
Thank you for the kind words, Gregory.
You use the freeways to get there, and horses trot comfortably at 8 MPH. Can you imagine people commuting back and forth to these towns back then?
This is close to Sturgis. You can see the bikes as people start the season
Yep. Just a few miles away.
Nice video. I would like to visit so much !
Thanks you from France 👍
Thanks for watching!
When I was in Washington visiting my son I took the day out and drove a couple hours away to where they filmed Northern Exposure which was supposed to be a town in the boondocks in middle Alaska. I mean I recognized everything right away and they still have the radio station in the window that you could look at with the old, old, old radio equipment, the General store and I had lunch at The Brick which looks a lot different than the TV show inside, the outside look the same. I was able to get something off my bucket list because I love that show, maybe one day you’ll make it there if you haven’t already. The town was Roslyn, Washington
The original #10 is at the back and down stairs. The original street was much lower than the present main street.
Legends in the basement of the Franklin, best food in town!
An enjoyable video visit to Deadwood, SD. Deadwood, SD is the annual host to the largest motorcycle rider rally in the US. Good video Lord Spoda.
Actually the rally is at Sturgis
No Sturgis is, two different places
@@rossmockler7746 I'm in agreement with you about the rally primarily being held in the town of Sturgis, SD. Good call.
Love your videos man keep it up very informative and interesting as well cool place and history thanks 🙏 😎
Thank you, Drake.
I never thought about this place until now. I definitely need to visit
This vlog is like the movie 🎥🍿 beautiful ♥️ adventure 🦋🌞☘️ enjoying fr jamaica 🇯🇲🌞🏖️😎
Great video! I almost feel that I was there too!
Perfect!
We have the same problem with bikes here in Gettysburg.
It’s cool to see how well the HBO did in some ways and how they strayed. Great video. Thanks for sharing
Hi, guys! Excelent video. Regards from Amazonas, Brazil
Been in all those places you were in, one of the best trips of my life was in Deadwood. Planning on going back someday.
This is so funny, the last time I was there, in 2007, there were 3-4 different saloons all claiming to be the real # 10.
while there i did a horse ride at Andy's stables outside of town. he does a great job and it's not like any other tour ride i've done
Great video - Thanks.
Cool video thank you for sharing.
Are you a fan of the TV show? I am. This is the first time I’ve seen the real town, though. It’s a very pretty area!
Deadwood is a great little town with a lot of great places to eat good food.
It's an amazing place. We had a lot of fun there.
Deadwood is horrendous and has nothing to offer other than casinos.
you tellin me they don't sell whiskey in the WILD BILL bar??
No, can you believe that?! It was a bit of a let down.
Like your music choice. Reminds me of that series about building the railroad west, with Anson Mount and Common, can't think of the name of it right now.
Perfect theme music for the intro to his hi-falutin' video!
"Hell on Wheels"
I loved that show. Watched every episode!
@@JoeandNicsRoadTrip Wasn't it great?! Wish they would rerun the series sometime.

Awesome, thanks!
After Rapid Cit, I, my mom and sister, saw the Deadwood Pageant. That was summer, 1953, at age 13.

It is awesome there. The entire area around Rapid City. One of the best places in the USA.
She seems very nice
Awesome! I love the movie Calamity Jane with Doris Day! Calamity Jane really loved Wild Bill so it would be appropriate for her to be buried next to Wild Bill! Thank you I’m still watching to catch 🆙
You should go in the winter is so nice we are leaving Jan 18 to go up there we stop of in custer for a few days then head up there

Nic’s a free spirit…..
There is still snow at terry peak in deadwood south dakota
I was there yesterday, but couldn’t find a parking place so we had to keep going down the road. Unless we wanted to pay to park a mile down the road.
I saw it in the middle seventy's before it burnt down the last time . Doesnt look at all as it did with wooden buildings and boardwalks . The brothel was open and the ladys were very nice but my wife said that was enough Lol .
Thanks for the look see . . .

Here we go another gold.
There's a gold mine tour in Lead that was very informative.

I wish I could go to South Dakota.
Vivi un tiempo en South Dakota huron es muy bonito me gusto mucho en aquellos tiempos
dont forget to quote wu when in deadwood!!
Go to Hickok's Hotel and Gaming and sit at the bar for the best comp hot dog and beer you will ever taste. Friendly people! Great stop.
Y'all should have gone to Seth Bullock's grave, it was only few hundred yards from Wild Bill's grave.
It's the busiest town in the USA..
Enjoyed the whole video, but after reading brothal closed by FBI and state agents, “those guys suck!” Was the best part of the video.
Great video, your wife should take a chill pill with her whiskey!
Remember 'the wife in tow" likes "the noise".
You went into Saloon #10 but didn't go to the back where the table is that Wild Bill Hickock was shot and the door that Jack McCall came through??? That's the main reason to go in there.
Poor Wild Bill…a month of Hell on a wagon to get shot in the back of the head upon arrival.
Good video just a little short i thought, considering all their is to do around their.
I agree. We are going to go back and do another, and this time actually stay in Deadwood.
something about that part of the country i live in the mid atlantic part of the country and rarely do you meet someone from the dakotas montana that area it must be a great place but you can have it wouldn't go on your dollar

Yes, unfortunately the historic Deadwood wasn't kept
seperate from modern times. Just as Virginia City Nevada
wasn't protected But I appreciate you two covering the historic

The Montana Virginia City, Nevada City, Bannock City, and Garnett
are very well preserved and kept like they were in the "old days"
Thats me at the stop
Bullock’s hotel I believe had great bars and bartenders
I love USA
So similar to Norway!
You got people driving around with Trump flags too?
When was this ? Going next end of July but before Aug. Need to know what type of clothes to bring
We were there the last week of July. There is a LOT to do and see in that area. You'll have a great time.
Lol Al Sweargen lol Gem Saloon .
Nice video… your wife or girlfriend seems edgy and short tempered, I feel for you
Cool video. The motorcycles would ruin it for me
