A visit to Garretson town.

We went to Garretson, SD this morning after papa finished some work in the lab. It was a last minute decision since it was snowing in Brookings. It took us 55 minutes to there. Garretson has one place name Devil's Gulch (Jesse James jumped here). Here was the place where bank robbers Jesse and Frank James escaped from lawmen in 1876. I read they jumped from one of the bridge and hide in a cave here. Click the link for more details.



When we arrived, it kind of disappointment when we read a notice at the gate of Devil Gulch entrance. The place is only available for visitor starting mid-May.  I hope we have an opportunity to visit the Devil's Gulch another time, insyaAllah.

After a few minutes of side-seeing the town, we saw the "Jesse James-Pontoon Rides" signboard not far from the Devil's Gulch place. So, we stopped by and took some photos there. The place is quite beautiful. We stayed there for about 20 minutes. Weather not permit us to stay and explore more since it was too cold and windy. My fingers became numb and it was hard for me to hit the camera shutter. A lot of my pictures were blur, huhuhu.
