Some Black Hills Favorites

Favorite happy image: These pigmy mountain goats at "Old McDonald's Farm", just outside the gates of our RV home at Rushmore Shadows. They climb up to eat some tempting grass atop this swinging bridge. They make us smile each time we pass. Favorite restaurant and food: Desperado's Cowboy Cuisine in Hill City. The building is from the 1880's and of hand-scribed logs, beautifully renovated by a former GM car salesman from WI and his new bride. The grand opening was just in time for our arrival in "the Hills". The owner and staff are warm and friendly. The food is perfectly prepared, seasoned and presented. We can vouch specifically for the ribeye, the porterhouse pork chop, the Cornish game hen, the caramel-whisky sauce garnished bread pudding and the strawberry-rhubarb pie; all prepared from scratch in their own kitchen. In case you're wondering, we have eaten there more than once in order to sample so many different foods.
