Tag: Hill City

After three very early mornings, it felt wonderful to sleep in. I got up at 6:30, but when Greg woke up later, I went back to bed for a nap.

Once we were both awake and functional, we hopped on our bikes and took a ride down the Mickelson Trail, heading in the direction of Hill City. There was a trailhead right from the campground.

The Mickelson Trail is a 108-mile rail-to-trail that goes from Deadwood in the north to Edgemont in the south.

We rode about 16 miles, round trip. It was quite relaxing. The weather was 65°, mostly sunny, with a breeze that occasionally had a bit of a bite to it.

The scenery was lovely.

After we got back, we relaxed on our deck for a little while, ate lunch, and then headed to the grocery store in search of food and a new coffee pot.

Our old coffee pot gave up the ghost this morning. Sadly, we were not able to find a new one.

However, when we got back to the camper, Greg was able to jury rig the old coffee pot to get it working again. (And hopefully, it will stay working!)

Life is not worth living without fresh coffee in the morning.
