Day 3: C*******ers! (Deadwood, SD)

We have no need to visit Deadwood ever again. And neither do you. Trust us.


Sad jackalope concurs.

Day 3: More Taxidermy!

At a gas station, of all places. (But in SD, no surprise there.) Part of a huge display of the owner's private collection.

Prepare to see a lot more stuffed animals on this blog. It's love/hate.

Day 3: "The Museum is Incredible"

Still in Wall, SD.

This store ranks up there with 1880 Cowboy Town as far as personal meccas go. It's part of a "Wildlife Museum" located in the back of a tchotch shop... The bear is a sentinel; the actual "museum" is a claustrophobic 200-ft-sq. maze of floor-to-ceiling taxidermy. The grand finale is a giant polar bear surrounded by clumps of dirty cotton "snow." Unconscionable.
