Newcastle, Wyoming

It cooled off some today so we drove into Newcastle, Wyoming about 35 miles away. There are two things to see in Newcastle; the Anna Miller Museum which was really interesting and the "hand dug oil well" which we didn't go see. Newcastle has a great courthouse as so many of these small towns do. The log cabin is the Jenny Stockade which is the oldest building in the black hills gold rush and was once a stage station. We had lunch in Newcastle then drove back to Custer. Drove thru the Jewel Cave National Monument area and saw the effects of the huge fire they had about five years ago. We did some grocery shopping and then back to the RV for a nap.
