Deadwood, SD ~ Boondocking Downtown

[@al197861]

we cannot travel , but you travel for us all , thank you so much for your dedication and love for cats , Alfred us navy veteran

[@saltnlightful]

You produce excellent quality videos, so enjoyable to watch. Thank you. Love your hat. It looks great on you. I also love Jax. Thanks for including Jax on the video. He has stolen my heart. Deadwood is a pretty place.

[@avlisk]

Discovered you 3 weeks ago. Caught up by watching 10 to 20 videos a day. One 10 minute video every couple of days is a real shock to the system. I think I have to go out and buy me a van just because of the withdrawal symptoms I'm having. PS Campervan Kevin's videos are helping reduce the anxiety. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@georgebeaulieu8908]

As always, Eric, you do such a great job showing us the real beauty in this country. Thanks for doing what you do for us. Oh, and you too Jax.

[@ClearAdventure]

That lake and campground at the beginning looked like a place I would love to stay a while, just amazing!

[@randymusick3645]

Like i have said before your videos are wonderful for us folks who can't get out due to health. Could be a lot longer.

[@aHigherPower]

Absolute gorgeous area. I love seeing these smaller towns out in the middle of nowhere.

[@fendermon]

I enjoyed the heck out of this. Thank you! I've always wanted to visit there; this was a great primer.

[@blastshieldaddiction]

I love this country. Thank you very much for show casing it.

[@sandibooth9986]

Love being able to see a place before I actually drive through. Takes away a LOT of stress and anxiety.

[@powerpuppets6861]

Why so many nasty comments? Is it jealousy? Boredom? What?? Eric seems like a nice guy just doing his thing not hurting anyone. There's a hell of a lot of mean spirited people out there! No I'm not Eric, I'm just a normal mum of two from the UK who thoroughly enjoys watching these videos! Can't wait for your next one!

[@JerJam]

8:57 JESUS!! Had my headphone on, scared the hell out of me too! Just started watching your vlog, I like it! Safe Travels!

[@mountainprepper2878]

For those that are looking for the location of the lakeside campground at the beginning of the video, its...Sheridan Lake South campground

[@whoistheroach136]

Mountain Prepper 4 Life thanks for that information. I was wondering why he never answered folks requests to tell them where that was. Odd. Anyway, your response is greatly appreciated. We travel with kayaks and that will be a fun place for us to stop. Right now we are boondocking in the hills overlooking the Deadwood area. Extremely beautiful where we are. Very peaceful.

[@coates9580]

great video Eric and as always thanks for posting😆

[@kartof1]

I said this on the Facebook page. Here it is again. That is the best intro ever: blessedly *brief*, visually appealing with drone scenically on the ascend, and the Jax meow at the end. Well done. Right good to check in again on Mr Jax.

[@tammiemiller121]

That dog scared me too! The lake was beautiful with the blue sky above and all the white clouds. Doesn't get much better. Great video, wish I was out there too. Thanks!

[@camperkeith894]

Deadwood was one of my favorite series. Thanks for sharing, awesome.

[@bobbiestafford1088]

Eric ,love your Western hat ... And so enjoyed seeing Deadwood and the saloon where Wild Bill was shot. Thank you as usual for letting us travel with you. Give Jax a big hug for me .

[@janicepeck4828]

Thank you great tour of Deadwood. your sure giving me the Go bug. Because of you Iv added new places on my bucket list. jp

[@alittlebitofeverything01]

I wish I would have known you were coming. Haven't been on your channel lately. So glad you made it to South Dakota. Love watching you and your adventures! Keep on keepin on!

[@stattube]

Another great video Eric. Thanks for showing us around Deadwood and got a laugh out of the dog barking at you.

[@eric09laura]

Good video. The lake camping in the beginning was awesome!

[@nancybrisco5824]

That is a really cool town, thanks for sharing with us. I jumped when that dog barked. LOL

[@Hatch61]

What an interesting route, thanks for bringing us along. Great video.

[@billycook5688]

Knowing that part of the country as well as I do me thinks you went north about a month early. Deadwood is a good series, I have it on cd's.

[@tammyrea8781]

I think it's awesome how you get to travel around and see the world!

[@ronhunter2054]

Hey......the hat looks good on you - safe travels amigo.

[@pchts1]

When going on a 3 week trip back in 1985 we went through that area and ran into cold and freezing rain and snow in and around that area in the middle of June, so be thankful that you didn't get any more than you did!

[@ka1133]

I haven't been to this part of the US so this is my first view of the area. I'll make some notes for when I do head west. Great video and great quality as usual.

[@jeremywhitaker9772]

I love Deadwood. I was there in 2010 and I plan to go back soon. I love the history of the old west. The cemetery is really creepy just before sunset.

[@roadiemort3589]

We are finally getting some warmer temps here in Toronto, about a month behind from last year, Thanks for the vid.

[@westondaniel]

That dog at 9:01 scared the crap out of me too.

[@boondockingmainahs]

you are moving right along Eric ! Keep up the awesome videos my friend

[@krysil1221]

Looks like an interesting place to visit. Stay warm and safe! Good travels

[@Marty933]

Years ago we went to Deadwood and the Black Hills the first week of May for an early vacation. The first night in Deadwood we got 28 inches of heavy wet snow but had a great time in Deadwood. One of the must see places is the Adams Museum which is just a block or two off the main street. They have everything from an old 1880's steam locamotive to a casting of the largest gold nugget found right outside of town. Amazing (and free) place to visit.

[@milehighkit4725]

Thanks for another good one Eric! I sure do miss those drone shots. Hopefully you can get it repaired soon.

[@Luther-dj8si]

When I was a kid, we used to go camping at Sylvan Lake...somewhere up there. I remember we'd rent a row boat and troll for fish...and landed many. haha Have fun and enjoy history.

[@peggysue6857]

I laugh every time I see Jax flop over. I have a Daschund and his front legs are only 3 inches long were his back legs are almost twice that long and he does the flop over thing too. Too cute.

[@dominickbundy6429]

Great video, interesting town..the very best to you and Jax.

[@RobertWard]

That overnight in the forest service campground was beautiful. Rough place to wake up. Some serious road construction outside Deadwood. --Bob

[@reneeburry4399]

Enjoyed Deadwood. Eric I found your video was extremely crisp, clear & great color. Keep on doing what your doing & use those settings again :) Meow, Meow Jax :)

[@gregklevgard1040]

Deadwood Trolley is nice, goes all over town well into the night.

[@steveharmon156]

"cold shoulder", very good. Thanks Eric.

[@markw2917]

Fun video. Thanks for bringing us along

[@DaveHiggoHiggins]

The dog barking at you was the best bit, ha ha ha, I would've dropped a few pebbles too.

[@dalekundtz4603]

Unexpected snowfall is common in CO. I pulled off in a rest area and woke up under 4 inches of snow.. lol. Glad Jax is enjoying it. Be safe.

[@Slaytanik.]

I live in the NE corner of SD. I will be spending an upcoming 5 day weekend backpacking in the hills sleeping in a hammock. Can't wait!

[@craigpetty2041]

Hi Eric, and kitty Jax just wanted to say that I love your videos, and appreciate your hard work. P.S you look cool as hell in that hat!!!

[@gidney100]

Great video Eric, Brings back a lot of good memories..Hope you can make it thru Sundance and Devils Tower..Beautiful country.

[@choppersvantravels107]

looks a nice wee town eric,myself were boondocking in aviemore and inverness in scotland at the weekend ,3 inches of snow over night ,kinda cold bud,,,,, -11degrees but heater and blanket heater on all night

[@mikephillips9444]

thanks eric. keep up the good work. be safe.

[@ibwatching9752]

Deadwood, the show, was fantastic... it was short lived (I think only 2 seasons)... really a good watch!

[@DClean]

Drive by barking. Deadwood's crime rate is skyrocketing.

[@LindaWolfe20]

Do not lose the cowboy hat... it is you ... Love the town and good idea asking where to park over night... Finding out good info... thanks for the tour... very good video..

[@dianabeets5854]

awww ,jaxs loves his daddy.that town is quiet.hope you got to see a little bit.

[@clenaghen123]

Cute little town,,,,, sounds like the people are nice as well! good day to you,,,, Sass

[@jessamygoddard4112]

Lovely to see Jax at the end! Take care xxx

[@randyblackwell6132]

Eric, your comment, "She gave me a cold shoulder" was a classic. could not stop laughing!

[@MrJpat88]

Cool history in the town but was overwhelmed by the amount of gambling and bars when I went, makes me feel a little better you didn't find much else either. Fun town but not much for a frugal traveler. Really hope you get to the Badlands, that place is amazing!

[@ChiefinGuam]

Deadwood is on my bucket list of places to visit. A friend of mine owns the Deadwood Tobacco shop in that hotel. One day I'll make the trip.

[@sherrymilhon5377]

Great video love the hat Stay safe out there

[@mikejordan9220]

I'm know you get a lot of suggestions but if you can, you should try to visit Glacier National Park in northern Montana. It is, in my opinion only, one of the most beautiful parks in the country. It is out of the way but if you are close enough it is worth your time.

[@safarilocks0865]

Great video eric. And cool cowboy hat ready neat. Yeah finding the best places to park for the night is relieving. lol when jaxs wants attention she gets it.

[@richardsoutdoorworld5284]

I PICKED UP ON THAT AT THE 1:38 mark in video ! LOL get on over to Deadwood at moment you was filming the Dead tree that fell into water ! Brilliant !

[@michaelrice3021]

Excellent vid. I enjoy all your travels.

[@gregorycrow3024]

I enjoy your videos. The Black Hills are really something when 500,000 motorcycles are there in aug.

[@beduiini]

Hi Eric! Tell Jax a happy birthday from me and my cat all the way from Finland!

[@tigahshark]

Your living the life, hopefully one day for me...

[@TheDmac66]

Deadwood does put on shows, in the summer.

[@xschopperblog2763]

funny ur about 275 miles from me right now ive rode my bike over that mtn in the summer and it snow on us lol ur in some awesome country right there !!!!!

[@eddiechavez6095]

Awesome views Eric.

[@Camp_Runamuck]

That's why I like the VW Westy you can park anywhere and that's a big plus at times

[@ChristinaColoradoan]

The HBO series Deadwood finished up several years ago. It was a great series 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

[@blunder1591]

Great video Shame looks like you have gone past the minuteman museum, that would have been a good visit

[@scratchmuhnutz4me]

looks like my kinda town! Cool video Eric!

[@Loganaxne]

HAHAHA!! The dog barking reaction had me cracking up!

[@jewellm61]

Logan Axne - I kept backing it up to see it again. Eric didn't need to tell us that the dog scared him. I thought he gave himself whiplash!

[@liam1082]

Again another great video Eric been watching since 20k

[@armanddd9956]

That's one great campsite WOW!!!!

[@daisymae4048]

I love Jax. Make sure you give him a lot of attention and love!

[@GypsyRoseGirl]

[@moderndaydrifter4672]

You almost looked like little jimmy dickins when you were walking with that hat on,hahaha great video bro stay safe out there

[@RedRoadgifts]

That dog barking going by scared the crap out of me too.

[@Notorious_Conundrum]

We love the clips with Jax!!!!!!!!

[@nocturnal7312]

Deadwood lived up to it's name, Kind of dead, Not much going on, On your way back home some day stop by Virginia City, Right out of Reno, Fun little ghost town !! :)

[@songsungblue779]

Why the cold shoulder you may ask? Like my father once said when I told him I wanted to wed the daughter of a rich millionaire, he said "son, just because she's loaded with plastic doesn't make her a dummy." Mabey that's why I'm poor today. Love the video Eric, that lake looked like it was begging for a fishing line. I bet come July you wouldn't be able to get an RV within 1/2 mile of that place now because you told everybody about it. Keep up the Good work.

[@bryanevans111]

Nice job Eric...love you videos........when you gonna get that drone fixed and back up in he air......;) Have fun and be safe!

[@WannaBFree]

Amazing that entrance to town is still under construction. I was through there almost two years ago and it was under construction with delays. Neat town though.

[@nomadicfanatic]

+WannaBFree Wow, that is quite the project. I saw no signs or indications of completion date either.

[@Woopwoopwill]

+Nomadic Fanatic . Hey Eric the dancing girl didn't give you the cold shoulder , She gave you the Dead Wood.lmfao.

[@Woopwoopwill]

+Nomadic Fanatic wow Eric, I see you're still having a troll infestation? !!!. some things we just can't get rid of. just over look it. you're doing well, keep up the great video's. thanks .

[@jewellm61]

William Oneal - LOL! The Deadwood comment.

[@Woopwoopwill]

jewellm61 thanks for laughing 😀

[@enjoyeveryday8385]

Eric, since you manage to find great locations on rivers and lakes, have you ever considered getting a kayak so that you can get on the water. I know that you experienced kayaking when you were in the keys. Would be a great addition to your videos

[@oneandonlyshyam]

I went to deadwood last may, it was still dead. everyone was on the casino floor, mt rushmoore was busier than you saw it and sturgis was a ghost town. I liked the water park in our hotel the most.

[@cherriemckinstry131]

That was interesting in that i never been in this state. Very interesting how they make tourists feel invited... Snow....ewww..a little is great in late fall and before Christmas.. then it can go away.

[@W6OWH]

Thanks for the tour of Deadwood , South Dakota a colorful bit of history. Gee, where is the Wal Mart? Nice to see a small town with all the shops still there. No McDonald's or Burger King yet. Seems like you forgot the north east part of the nation... Maine, Vermont, and the other eastern states. Hoping you will visit them at some future time... I love learning about our country through your eyes.

[@ferrelx]

not to far from downtown..pretty much on the same street (main street) dumps into the road that will take you to the "Days of '76 Museum" as you head north..in the back lot there is the "Days of '76 Campground" its reasonable and has full hook ups with a drop station..best part is the trolley comes by every 30 minutes and you can ride anywhere for a buck..also they will drop you right back at your RV if you like..very friendly..didn't even mind when we thoroughly enjoyed main street and took a couple of tries to get up the trolley steps :) what was really cool was all the riders were on a first name basis in a couple days..it was one of the best stay overs for us yet..cant wait to go back :) The Historic Fairmont Hotel ghost tour---> ibb.co/mu4dmd

[@40belowful]

another awesome video:) beautiful area:)thanks and the "amenities" are better than Alaska has by far:)

[@RogerThat1851]

Great video thank you!

[@robbinrichardson1040]

Thumbs up to another great spot!:)

[@fall22123]

That must have been Sheridan lake. I took my family fishing there a few years ago. We were fishing off a dock. The water was so clear that you could see the fish swimming up to my hook and biting on it. I really didn't care for the camp grounds run by the national park service or forest service or whatever. The state parks were much better.

[@DebraCloudLeight]

Oh my!!!! Can you tell us where that first campground is? If we go out there, that's where I want to stay!!!!

[@MrOvo1231]

excellent video

[@escapelawn]

was in Deadwood last year beautiful place. Gotta visit Mt. Rushmore, Sturgis and do the loop. Kevin Costner owns a casino in Deadwood. Nice places, definitely a return trip.

[@lenfarneth]

Dont feel bad that girl gives everyone the cold shoulder.

[@bluemamba5317]

That's why they call the place deadwood.
