By Rachel - 7/2/06


Today we went to Deadwood and Lead. These are both towns. (Their names are pretty funny.) We did a Tatanka museum in Deadwood. There was a 22-minute movie about the making of the Tatanka: Story of the Bison museum. Then we did a tour of stampeding buffalo models, and then we did a talk about the Lakota Indian life. Then we went to Lead (the town). There was a mining museum. We got to pan for gold!!! Then we got to go on a tour about mining. It really looked real, but it wasn’t. The mining place was in use from the late 1800s to 2001. I got four postcards, the gold I found while I was panning, and a little bottle of silver.
