Deadwood Lookout

We had a great first camping trip with Sawyer. And only a couple bumps in the road. I think we will definitely try to reserve this lookout again for next year. It is behind a locked gate so no one else can be in there. It was so peaceful and relaxing. As you can see from the pictures below, there are windows all the way around with 360 degree views. There was an awesome lightning storm for hours Friday night that we could watch safely from inside the lookout. We were awakened by a noise that night that scared us at first, but what we came to imagine was a mouse and some plastic. It was pretty loud and woke us up several times throughout the night. The next morning we learned that it was a moth inside a plastic bag. We could have just thrown the stupid thing out and gotten better sleep. Sawyer started getting a cold Saturday night and we didn't have the nasal aspirator with us. We almost thought we were going to be packing up and leaving at one o'clock in the morning. Luckily we made it through the night. It was such a beautiful area though and it was nice to get out of town.
