Hermosa, Black Hills of South Dakota

To make sense of some of my daily postings, I urge you to begin reading my daily postings by scrolling down to where it says: daily 'Blog Archives', and read my first posting, followed by my second,third, fourth and so forth.
Thank you.

Today I am going to write a few
words about Hermosa, Black Hills
of South Dakota.
This small town of a little more than 300 people, is located on the eastern
rim of the Black Hills, 18 miles south
of Rapid City and straddling highway
79.
This town has very little in the way
of industry or shopping and is
primarily a bedroom town for workers
in Rapid City and Custer State Park.

This summer the east side of Hermosa
experienced a horrible flood. A large
number of relatively new homes built
on the flood plain were either destroyed
or badly damaged.
A side note: Another name or designation
for a flood plain is a Secondary River Bed.
That is what a flood plain is. Why in the
world people would build on a flood plain
is beyond me. Now these same people are
in the process of restoring or rebuilding
their homes, still in the flood plain
(secondary river bed). I guess they are
assuming since it just flooded there, the
next flood won't happen for a long time.
Floods are designated by how often that
type of flood occurs. There are what are
referred to as fifty year floods, one hundred
year floods, five hundred year floods, one
thousand year floods. Many people
apparently take this to mean, on a one
hundred year flood, after one occurs, there
won't be another one for one hundred
years. Unfortunately, they are wrong.
You can have two one hundred year flood storms back to back. What a 100 year
flood storm means is, over a 100,000
year period you can expect there will be 1000 floods of that strength.

Hamlets of the Central Black Hills

To make sense of some of my daily
postings, I urge you to began reading
my daily postings by scrolling down
to daily 'Blog Archives' and read my
first posting, followed by my
second, third, fourth and so forth.

There are several hamlets in west
central Black Hills of South Dakota.
These are Silver City, Rochford,
Iron Creek Lake, Cheyenne Crossing,
Savoy, Deerfield, and Mystic.
The largest of these is Silver City
and Rochford but even these do not
have populations large enough to
be shown on road maps.
Nearly all of these hamlets were at
one time mining communities, some
with booming populations. Some,
such as Savoy, Cheyenne Crossing,
Iron Creek Lake, and Deerfield have
campgrounds; Savoy, Cheyenne
Crossing have both motels and a
cafe or restaurant. Although all are
located in beautiful areas, there is
little else these communities have to
offer. Most have wonderful hiking
and cross country skiing trails and
some have ATV trails.

Town of Keystone

To better understand many of my daily
blogs, please scroll down my daily 'Blog
Archives' and click on the first posting
date, then succeeding post dates.

Today's posting is about the town of
Keystone, located a few miles from Mt.
Rushmore. It is south west of Rapid
City about 60 miles.
Keystone is an old mining town. Today
there is no mining of minerals but
plenty of mining of the tourist dollar.
It is very definitely a tourist town,
banking on it's close proximity to
Mt. Rushmore.
The town is full of souvenir shops,
fine restaurants and motels. To really
appreciate Keystone, you really must
visit the old part of town. It has a
old school building turned into a
museum.
Keystone has a population of a little
over 300 people.

Another town in the Central Black Hills

To make any sense of my daily postings
I urge you to scroll down to 'Blog Archives'
and start with the # 1 posting on 09/30/07
and proceed forward from there.

Today's central Black Hills town I am going
to write about is Hill City.
This happens to be my favorite town in the
Black Hills. I am not the only one who
feels that way. A few years ago a national
magazine selected Hill City as one of the
ten top best little unknown towns in the
country.
Hill City has a population of not quite
800 people. It is a former mining town
and is now a favorite of tourists to the
Black Hills. It has neat shops, very nice
people, wonderful eating places, the home
of the famous Alpine Inn which offers out
of this world German food, and numerous
motels.
It has a dinosaurs museum which is a must
to see. Another main attraction is the 1880
train which headquarters in Hill City and
makes several daily runs during the tourist season between Hill City and Keystone on tracks running through some of the most beautiful scenery in the Black Hills.

Towns in the Central part of the Black Hills

Over the next two or three days I will
write about the towns and hamlets in the central part of the Black Hills.

Today I will start with the hamlet of
Johnson's Siding. This hamlet is very
tiny. It is located on highway 44 a
dozen or so miles west of Rapid City.
With one motel, one restaurant, a
church and a town hall plus a few
residents, there is not very much more
which can be said about the hamlet
other than Rapid Creek runs through
it. Also it is a very beautiful little place. *************************

Rapid City, South Dakota

The city of Rapid City, South Dakota is
located 27 miles south south east of
the town of Sturgis. It straddles
Interstate 90 with a population of about
60,000 people.
Rapid City has much to offer in the way
of shopping, industry, tourism, jobs,
medical care, recreation and a great place to live.
I have received a great deal of medical
care at the Mayo Clinic and I compare
the medical care and facilities in Rapid
City very favorably with the Mayo Clinic.
I might even say, in some ways, I have
received much better medical care in
Rapid City.

Elsworth Air Force Base is located just
east of Rapid City. The relationship
between the base people and Rapid City
can only be described as suburb.

The city has several colleges, including
the Black Hills School of Mines and
Technology.
