My outlaws (in-laws) come to visit about once a year. We always pick one day for an adventure. This year's adventure was the 1880s Train. The photos are courtousy of my Mother-in-Law, since I forgot my camera. Thanks Cindy! We took the round trip from Hill City to Keystone and back to Hill City.
The train station in Hill City.
I hear the train a coming.
We are waiting patiently for the train to come around the bend.
The Number 7 engine in this photo has been in numerous movies.
Cindy got some great scenery photos.
That is the engine going around us, so it could take the train back to Hill City.
More good scenery photos. My Mother-in-Law takes good photos.
Goin' around the bend.
(small disclaimer it is not January 6)
We saw this nice barn on the way home again.
I highly recommend the 1880s Train if you are in the hills. It was a fun way to spend the day.
Looks like you had fun! It was so nice of our MIL to take photos and let you use them.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a lot of fun! Beautiful scenery!
ReplyDeleteWhat a charming trip, I enjoyed going with you.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fun day trip.
ReplyDeleteOh now this is truly a place I would love to see and ride that train. Fun and family what could be better than that? NOTHING B
ReplyDeleteThat would be a great way to see some beautiful countryside...I love the barn! and the rocky landscape
ReplyDeleteI love getting a "bird's eye view" of the Hills. We've only briefly driven through SD on our way to our daughter's 3 years ago. Some day, I'd like to see more. Happy 4th, Bonnie! XOXO
ReplyDeleteI love trains, and what a journey you got to go on. Love your MIL photo's make sure to pass that one to her.

I enjoyed the 1880 train too. Did the guy stand outside his house and wave when you went by? I think he lived about half way between the start and turn around point. I do miss the Black Hills.
ReplyDeletei love trains. i find the sound of the whistle so comforting. perhaps beacause the sound reminds me that people are going home, to be with their family!!
ReplyDeletethe landscape/views were beautiful. you could share your barn tonight on barn charm, if you like. if you are interested, check out my blog, i will be linking in tonight!!
Looks like a wonderful way to spend the day and see the beautiful scenery.
ReplyDeleteNice barn and photo!
ReplyDeleteThat barn is very simular to Norwegian tradisjon.

ReplyDeleteMy grandparents took me to SD when I was a kid & I vaguely remember something about a train, but it may have been one of those train robbery reenactments, I can't really remember, but I love trains & I love history, so if I'm every there, I'll definitely take a ride! Great barn find on the trip, too!
