More Dead Wood from Deadwood South Dakota: These were taken a few days ago the snow is leaving the ground enough so that now we can start getting back to some of the old tumble down...

These were taken a few days ago the snow is leaving the ground enough so that now we can start getting back to some of the old tumble down cabins and old home sites in the hills. There are quite a few to see if you know where they are, and at this time any of the readers of the UHH can ask me if I could go to and take pictures and I will time depending.

This is what we saw from the road it is about 100 feet to the foundation.

Once we got up there we saw that the fella that lived here at least washed his dishes maybe even had pretty good dish pan hands.,

They had a hot water heater.

I think that this is a washer but I could be wrong if it was it ment clean cloths to wear to work but more than that the guy who lived here I would imanage had a wife or a significant other.

Here is an armature from who knows what a refer was in the general area along with a gas room heater so I would say it came from anything that was in that corner of the house.

I think this is a common sight in most of these old places I have been into in the hills , they never took their bed or bed frames and here is another one,

On the edge of the road as we were leaving I saw this pug mark it was about 3/4 the size of my hand so I don't think that I will be looking this old house over at nite. Just a cute furry little puty tat.

Hey Erv thanks for the feedback I am trying to do the Black Hills and I think I might get most of it done by the time I turn 100 I only have a little over 5000 photo's of the mines and old buildings both on Digital and also on the old hard copy from an old 35mm Pentax ME SUPER.

I even tried giving the damn thing away to my daughter after
she moved out of the house I found not only the camera but the two rolls of film that I gave her with it. The best Pentax I owned was a Pentax 1000 that was a real sweetheart. Then I got the ME Super and then I was into Digital umm the first was a Kodak something or other and then came the one that I use now and that is a DX7590 better than 4400 clicks and like a Timex it just keeps on clicking. I think my next camera will be maybe a Canon or a Nikon I used to own a film Nikon with an imprinter back that was the FM5 well I got rid of that for a car god to be young dumb and full if P--s and vinegar.The one thing that I really hate or strongly dislike about this Kodak is that you have to put up with auto focus now I know that has to be a downfall of any camera that can;t be focused the way the old 35mm slr used to be but what the heck it still is a good camera and it will remain my spare camera after I get a new one.

You make me want to get out again. I have documented most of the Ghost Towns and Mines in the Black Hills. I now need to get them scanned off of slides into digital. Many of them are now gone. Especially where the surface mining is in the northern hills.

There is a coal mining company down in south east Ohio that does strip mining. They bought up a whole lot of land way back in the day. When I was young I use to go down and hunt on their land. Walking through the woods you would run into home steads that looked like they just got up and left without taking anything. Very cool to walk up on these. Wish I would have had the brains to take my camera, but no!

My grandmother said to me as a child You are Lakota, after I ask why I wanted to be the Indians when we played Cowboys and Indians. Could never prove statement. Would greatly thank you for any and all photos of Sacred hills. Thank You in advance.

Very nice that you live in an area that has all these old pieces of history, I'm sure your wife really enjoys exploring them...
