Broadus, MT to Deadwood/Lead, SD - Devils Tower National Monument and Deadwood's Mount Moriah Cemetery

We left Broadus on another sunny day and drove to Devils Tower before heading to Lead for the evening.  It was another interesting drive.  The sun shining on Devils Tower made it particularly spectacular.  We made a quick stop at the Mount Moriah Cemetery in Deadwood to visit the gravesites of Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane.  We had a buffet dinner at one of Deadwood's historic hotels.  Today these hotels advertise as casinos and slot machines dominate the gambling action.  Our lodgings in Lead were in a house built in 1910 which was under renovation (or reconstruction).  Part of Lead are settling due to sections of the mines under the town beginning to cave in unless they are shored up.  None of the floors in the house we spent the night in were level and the owner said plumbing had to be replaced as pipes broke at times due to the house shifting.
