RE: Dead Wood

in #life7 months ago

I haven't seen the show, so I don't even know if it was filmed on location. I passed through a month ago. Tourist season hadn't really started yet. There was very little real history on display, but lots of souvenir shops and that casino-and-hotel monolith dominated much of the town.

Sort:  

I didn't even know it was a real place till you said. I assumed it is a cool made up name of a place. Tourism can really suck at times for destroying a sense of identity or history in a place

It's a very real place. if you make it stateside, you can visit Wall Drug, Deadwood, Devil's Tower, the Custer massacre battlefield, and Pompey's Pillar in that corner of South Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana.

I would love to visit that area. Me and the missus always hope at some point to make it out to the States. One day!
