Welcome to Bella Vista's Deadwood Surprise

Or Wild Bill Hickok's resting place in Deadwood SD?  Jack McCall killed him as he held Aces & Eights.  Remember Guy Madison and Andy Devine in "The Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok" in the '50s... radio and TV?

It was all right near my Great-Grandfather Henry Buskala's homestead ranch, now a South Dakota Historic Site. Granma Mary (1 of 12) was raised here.

Being Finnish, these tracks lead right straight to the sauna by the creek, where I watched them, three septuagenarian great uncles, roll in the snow.

A rope being tied from outbuildings to the house ensured accurate winter storm Navigation. Granma Mary then met Grampa John (another 1 of 12) the Swede from Wisconsin... and here I am 25% Finn, 25% Swede... and the other half is another hide. 

Pix ca. '70's.

Now, let's get down to finding this host/container! BYOP!

We are searching for a Bison Tube that is comfortably nestled in place.

How do we get there/Park? 

Ample on-site parking is available.

Be Safe Out There:

Be cautious on the trail; many cyclists of all ages are in a hurry. It's not a safe area for pets or children on leashes, especially on weekends when a lot of bikers come through... FAST.

Good Hunting Ya'll!
